In a so called emergency like he was supposed to be in with childcare..

There are such things as MOBILES and LANDLINES to ring SS.

All he is doing is just saving the job /money.

Wonder how many comfort stops they made?

I would think of travelling in your own vehicle as a kind of extended self-isolation, risking needing a wee. It would involve less interaction with others than would calling in social workers who are probably very stretched at present.

What I found that stuck in my craw was when Downing Street denied that the police had visited DC's parents' property until Durham Police issued a statement saying that they had, indeed, visited.

Then BoJo and mates changed tack completely with words to the effect that it was OK.

Did they really think that they could get away with denying that the police had made that visit? That's when it sounded as though they were going for the 'fake news' excuse.

I see that reports have also been made that the police made two visits to Cummings's parents' home.

So let's wait and see if the newspapers find themselves taken to court over the whole business of false reporting.

Even travelling in his car still takes 4hrs -47 mins and is 269.1 miles from London.

And no child of 4 yrs old would be able to hold their wee long enough not to wet himself.

If you are going to stop using lavatories in service areas you are going to have to stop all deliveries because I doubt many delivery drivers can either.

Even toilets in different service stations and greasy cafes have been locked up so NO DRIVERS can use them.

Where do they go then?

They don't unless they have wee bottles in the cabs.

Seems very unlikely.

Drivers have been on the news about being locked out of the toilets when they are on the road saying about this subject.



Even showed their bottles they had to carry.

............ or there's bushes and trees in parking areas. :-D

Bet men have been using those, and maybe some women as well.

Long-distance delivery drivers between Canada and the US have the same problem. Canada has opened some toilets and place portable toilets in certain areas for the long-distance haulers.

The seaside resorts are not unlocking the public lavatories, to dissuade people from visiting, but it doesn't stop the idiots coming.

No doubt, public places are awash with human waste. That won't spread any sort of disease, will it?

They know coronavirus is shed into urine ............... scientists in several countries are going to be looking at testing material in sewers to see if they can assess, and then maybe project where an outbreak may be about to start from an increase in virus particles or their DNA in sewers from a certain area, district ...... or even one high rise building.

I don't know whether they have discovered it in "number 2s" yet

Pretty gross, eh? And, there are people who have PhDs in this kind of work!!

Then there's everything else in human waste ............... so yes, Sharron, dangerous!

Someone will have to clean it up.

Be glad that you are not a local government labourer :-(

You reminded me of a good Oz friend who was born in Western Australia. She used to tell me stories about the Night Man. :-D
