Given that alcohol has the effect of removing self-control at certain dosages and this person would have been encouraged to drink more than he was used to given the circumstances, then since all he did was crap on the floor and he didn't put anyone in hospital (unlike the imbecile that put my son in hospital for no reason)then these things will happen- unless of course alcohol is banned!
We are all assuming that the incident was intentional - even if the intention was 'warped' by the intake of alchohol. However I have known those who are 'very, very, drunk' to have quite genune accidents where their ability to get to and use an appropriate receptacle is overtaken by events (or even where they are unsure that they have reached an appropriate place). I suspect that most of the near, and not so near, misses in pub lavatories are associated with this, rather than with an intent to shock and dismay. The 'friends' of the stag in question all appear to be arguing that this was not an intentional action on anyone's part, and that at least, as far as my own expertience of alchohol fuelled festivity, is not implausible.
If it was one of the stag party and it was an accident (still grim and not easy to forgive imho), then the appropriate thing would have been for one of the perp's mates to at least offer to clean it up. And they should have left a hefty cash apology behind the bar.

If you're getting at what I think you're getting at, it would be more likely they'd guard the cubicle than the whole thing. Far too obvious.

Could it be possible that one of the lads had seen some stray urine on the floor of the toilet and - fearing a slip by another unwary EDT punter (leading to a possible no win/ no fee claim) - had resolved to guard the door until the manager could be fetched and a yellow warning sign placed?


Then, coincidentally during this time, could not a sudden and unexpected earth tremor have dislodged an unflushed log and threw it out of the pan and onto the floor?


Surely this is possible? We can't go round making accusations until all the possibilities have been explored.

"However I have known those who are 'very, very, drunk' to have quite genune accidents where their ability to get to and use an appropriate receptacle is overtaken by events "


Well fair enough then, the old under-the-influence get out clause, "I was pissed so it doesn't count".

- Oh I shat on the floor in the public loos - but i was pissed ! Oh, well no problem then, perfectly acceptable in that case.

- I ran over your daughter - But i was pissed ! Oh well, be my guest, I hope your car wasn't too badly damaged, can I contribute to the cost of some new panels ?

- I gave my girlfriend a black eye when we argued - but i was pissed ! Not a problem, please don't feel bad about it.


No problem. If you can't handle your alcohol, it's not your problem, it's everyone else's.

This.

Surely if being pissed was the problem he would have taken his "deposit" home with him in his pants rather than managing to pull them down before he even got to the cubicle.


Then again, he was wearing a dress and maybe he wasn't wearing pants? Which I guess would make facilitation of the whole incident much easier whether it was on purpose or an accident.

Exactly!


Let's stop giving this person thw benefit of the doubt, it was a prank that they thought was hilarious at the time, simple as that.


But also agree with KK. I've regretted a few rhings I've said or done whilst under the influence, but I was still responsible for those things, the booze didn't somehow give me license to be a prick.

    • Ocado stopped sourcing from Waitrose a few years ago. They now source from M&S and general brands. Waitrose have their own delivery service now. I don't know how well served SE22 is by it. Ocado offers for new customers are, or certainly were, really good, particularly in the run up to Christmas. I think I got 20%/15%/10% up to a maximum of £100 spend off my first three deliveries with no delivery charge or commitment to sign up for further deliveries. There wasn't a time limit, IIRC, so it was a great way of restocking heavy store cupboard basics and stuff for the freezer.
    • Fair enough point, but does that not in a way make it even worse if they open a shop almost directly  opposite another "family" business selling exactly the same type of products?
    • As Occado source from Waitrose, and were their only deliverer at one stage, and as Waitrose do now deliver it may be they feel their reach in ED is sufficient to mean having a local outlet would not gain them sufficient additional sales to be cost effective. The movement to delivery rather than physical shopping during Covid has I believe substantially changed the grocery economics. So it may be that the High Street dynamic for physical shops has now changed. 
    • ..... thinking about the discussion about Chango.  Their "About us" blurb on the website says started by one Argentina guy.  So if one person has a successful business and goes on to open a number of shops when do they go from a supported successful "family" business to a less liked "chain"?
