In the Herald today:

A community councillor has renewed calls to reopen public toilets in Largs, warning that long ferry queues are leading to people urinating in nearby streets. Andy Adair, 85, said the issue had been raised previously but that he was advised to report incidents of public urination to police rather than seek a wider solution.

As I remember, there’s a big toilet block near the terminal. Regardless of the length of the queues, why aren’t they using the public toilets, only yards from the terminal?

Further down, we read:

Ah, the public toilets are closed? Is that not a better explanation for the peeing behind car doors than trying to blame CalMac for long queues.

Best of all, 85 year-old Andy, seem unaware of this. Even closer to the cars:

And on the ferry? Yes, toilets there too.

At 85, if his prostate is anything like mine, I’d have thought Andy would be more relaxed about other old guys having to pee between the car doors and into a gutter. If the polis are being called out for this, I’m in trouble.
