I'd hate to be the person whose job it is to measure that urine.

pregnant women will breathe a sigh of relief with this new service.

So every man, woman and child (estimated 2006 population = 7500000) in London pees out just under 1/4 oz (~6 mL) on the street every year? That doesn't sound so bad...

[gjd]

Huh, interesting math, DP. Most people can wee that much just from laughing too hard.

I just tried it and got 4207.69 miles...

not sure whether to euwww or snork first.

I bet the ones utilizing allies are men of the 'wouldn'taskfordirectionsifmylifedependedonit' male gender.

*snork*@fivver!

[Siouxie]

fivver, good luck holding it till you get there.

[daisymae]

Obviously I don't know how to spell the plural of ally, FWIW.

Oh, if only there were something similar to find toilets in Paris!

[ArcticAl]

Yay me! I'm one of many people!

Now if my cell phone could tell me the directions to the closest pub so I could refill my bladder, that would be amazing science.

I agree Amer, I found some, but they were located in creepy basements of cafes. I solved this problem by not drinking anything while out exploring the city.
