German on the beach (Is this normal behaviour or is he telling us something) (1 Viewer)

[Northernraider]

50 or 60 years ago there were a lot more public toilets, its only in more recent years the numbers have been shrinking.

To be honest I didn't know as I wasn't alive lol

But I think there was probably less anywhere near beaches or laybys etc
But yes council's are forever reducing services and increasing charges

 

[Northernraider]

I suppose what used to be acceptable with regards to disposal of toilet waste has changed in a lot of cases due to our ever increasing numbers... no pun intended?
The inca trail for eg used to allow the digging of latrines at the stopping or campsite areas.. the huge numbers doing this eventually caused a pollution problem and now all waste has to be removed...

In this country as far as i am aware it is acceptable to deposit the likes of soiled nappies in domestic bins.. suitably wrapped of course.. so it would suggest that been caught short and using a plastic bag suitably sealed can quite properly be disposed of in a bin..
The local council round our way stopped providing dog waste bins in the local park... and instead instructed folk to use the normal waste bins dotted around the park saying that they were perfectly suitable for such waste...

Andy..

Yes I mean at home you are told to put dog poo in the general waste landfill bin and not the garden fokd waste bins etc

The was one such in HULL, which had large glass fronted Cisterns, in which the attendant had planted fish weed and had GOLDFISH in them.!!. Quite therapeutic, having a pee and watching the fish swim lazily about!!

Yes, I heard about that on Radio Humberside?

I used a site by a canal once and used to think what a lovely life it would be living on a narrow boat in the summer and driving somewhere warmer in a motorhome in the winter.

Once I'd walked along the canal bank for a bit and realised where their waste was being dumped I changed my mind.

I'm sure its not the first time the Germans have shit themselves on the beach

The Western Dessert is one F****ng big beach!!. As Rommel`s guys found out!.

It happens, However IF caught, You can Lose your right to navigate!. (so then where do you take a 100Ton of Barge?) That`s after you find the money for the very hefty Fine!!. Most "boats" now have "Black Tanks" (some still use Pottys, but not that many) and you have to pay to have a "pump out" occasionally. My youngest Son lives on one on the Thames/Kennet Near Reading.

On the other side of the coin what is a wagon driver supposed to do? In some parts of the country there are no public toilets. Those that do exist are too well hidden for a man in 40 tonner to find. Motorways OK but elsewhere?

Simple. Use a plastic bag for poo and an empty drink bottle for pee. Then dispose of in an appropriate place.

It was a serious question. I wondered how they were expected to cope. I'm not convinced I've heard a solution I'd be comfortable with (if I was in that position).

 

[Ninjabob]

Same as Hackney cab drivers, front nearside wheel. Most old school truck drivers will also know what a "spreadaxle" is.

Which is why the lorry parks we endure as Motorhome or Caravan owners in Motorway Services have a lovely smell of p&/s. Lazy barstusrds can't be bothered to walk to the toilets.

Yes motorway service areas would benefit from several gallons of jeyes fluids being sprayed around on a regular basis.

 

[WellWornTraveller]

It still begs the question of why someone, who has a fully fitted motorhome, would want to crap on the beach in full daylight with all the posh dog walkers around who never let little fuzzball make a mess.

It was a serious answer, it might not be comfortable but it works.

Suppose you could say why shit in the van and then have to carry it to tip it in the sea

 

[steve 6644]

busby Had I got the pictures the police and local council would have very quickly been involved. I do not see why one person should ruin a very good wilding spot for everybody else.

I would have rubbed his own shit all over him and tied a dead seagull to his head then let him go back to his van

This is not the normal behaviour of FLT/Wild Campers but sadly it only takes one or two to behave badly for the rest to be found guilty by association. Bit Like terrorism and Muslims, Irish Catholics and the IRA, motor homers and Itinerants etc., etc., It will never change .

 

[MyrtleGuru]

I remember watching that. Wasn't Cyril Cusack in it?

Just checked: he played the mayor.

But where the hell are you going to get a dead seagull from at that time in the morning.

He'd get a cat to catch it.

 

[Cat53]

A spade, loo roll and a box of matches. Dig a hole, do your business, wipe, burn paper, fill in hole. But only when you have no other choice. It happened To mé in The Kruger. I had a sudden attack of the runs. It was let me out to poop or disgrace myself, so although shielded by the vehicle we were in, I had no choice but to poop in the road. Quite frankly, I would have rather been eaten by a lion, I was so ashamed.

That's OK, nobody gives a hoot about humans ?

Employ a mercenary -- like this bloke:

Man smashed seagull against a wall after it tried to steal a chip, court hears

John Llewellyn-Jones ordered to serve 12-week curfew after killing bird

Tony Martin strikes again ?

 

[rosalan]

In France I have watched public toilets power washed every day, the same thing happens on some trains in India when they pause at stations.
In both cases it implies the publics personal hygiene leaves something to be desired and that there is an answer to odiferous establishments.

 

[Candapack]

I go hillwalking, not such big days now but used to involve being out from dawn to dusk. No choice then but to go outdoors.
We were in Austria once, stopped at a mountain hut for some soup, I asked where the loo was. The owner took me to the door we had come in, waved his arm expansively at the Vista and said "Berg toilette " (mountain loo).

Sorry, Tony, but once a day for a Number 2 - every McDonalds, Starbucks, Costa, most ordinary service stations, thousands of pubs, plus where you load up and drop off. And the country is covered with hedgerows and bushes for a wee.
