How could a planner 'plan' a toilet stop? Do you know exactly when you'll need to go on say, Monday? And on Wednesday would you need a wee at exactly the same time? How about if you have a vindaloo on Thursday night, should the planner also plan in 5 poo-breaks on a Friday, but just in case you don't have a vindaloo, should a Friday poo break also be planned around a Shepherds Pie, or maybe the slight chance you'll have a pizza?
I personally plan my meals around work, never have something that is going to need 'evacuated' several times at very short notice the next day.
It would seem to make sense, as would not taking on board large amounts of fluid before heading outdoors for several hours. However, we need to cover these important angles. Have any planners planned in 'tampon breaks' for female members on the blob? I imagine they'd need to know full details of their menstrual cycle such as 'heavy', 'light' or 'intermittent'. Maybe they could do a resiliency test on leading female sanitary products, and plan walks around how absorbant each one is?

so I never have a problem (plus there's a couple of public toilets in the area and I have a van).
Doesn't this make the van stink a bit?

When there are none left. And that is a serious answer.
Well said Pinstripe. RM and the union 100% don't care as long as the mail goes out of the door. Billy and Dave go now. :evil/mad

In Scotland, if someone knocks on your door and requires the use of your toilet, you must let them enter.
I thought there was still one of those silly unrepealed laws in place whereby, if you have a downstairs toilet and a postie asks to use it, you have to let them? I might have dreamt that one though.

Apparently though, it's legal for a male to urinate in public, so long as it is on the rear wheel of his motor vehicle, and his right hand is on the vehicle. I think the keywords there are HIS vehicle...
and his left hand ....... ? :crazy:
Holding his little fella to aim it at the wheel?!

Where can they be found, DGP? I have to deliver to an old folks home and your 'magic trees' sound like they could solve a problem.

they dont have to plan like that
they do however have to plan for the eventuality on every duty
and thus state where its possible for a delivery postie to take a toilet break
whether its on the duty or X distance from it

they dont have to plan like that
they do however have to plan for the eventuality on very duty
and thus state where its possible for a delivery postie to take a toilet break
whether its on the duty or X distance from it
I think this is done but i'll check again. I know the planner I know has his hands tied behind his back most of the time and is under lots of pressure. Whisky is taiking it's toll now so I might not get back to yu tonight? is that ok.

hands tied or not its up to them to fully plan the duty.else whats the point of a planner?
if they dont plan in toilet breaks then they cant moan when you send a bag back after losing time looking for a toilet :wink:

Well, they possibly could moan, it depends on what little present you send back in the bag.

You don't need magic trees for that situation, what you need is Vicks Vaporub...........a small drop just under your nose and all you'll smell is a lovely menthol smell and not OPPS (Old Peoples Piss Smell :wink: ).
