what a great idea!

[Bobbisox]

Merseyside police are putting police armed with water canon in Liverpool city centre this weekend,
No, not to stop a riot but to turn them on anyone they see urinating in the street !!!!!
apparently it's a growing problem there
I think it's a brilliant idea, so it won't just be your shoes you splash lads..lol, you will be wet all over
and girls you had better cross those legs of yours till you see a proper place to wee...

Surely girls don't !!!!!!

[funnygirl]

They cannot do that surely!!

Last I heard, they were gonna supply portable urinals.

[Bobbisox]

on Sky News just before fg
I didn't think girls would do that either..lol

[pericat]

Well I suppose some skirts are so short !!!!!!!

[Bobbisox]

if the Bigg Market in my city centre on Friday nights is anything to go on...
they do!

[piggynose]

where does pericat live? on the moon or in a tiny remote village

[jackthehat]

You need to wear wellies if you go out in Blackpool town centre on a Friday and Saturday night.............

[Bobbisox]

to be fair piggy I think Peris remark was a T.I.C one

[Bobbisox]

ha-ha morning Jack, same here, it's just the thought of them getting a dousing caught my imagination a bit

[redman41]

Heard it on the News myself Bobbi ! Probably no worse than any other big City centre but I wouldn't like to be water canonned into the Mersey this time of the year.
I'll have to wear a bladder bag ! lol

[pericat]

Venus actually piggy!

[daffy654]

Hmmm, not sure the police would be allowed to water canon someone just for peeing in a public place. Good idea though :-)

[hannibalsmith]

Is this serious? I reckon that potential urinators will somewhat be put off weeing by the presence of this badboy http://upload.wikimed...r_cannon_p1200848.jpg
And they will then Shrivel back from whence they came!

[TTG]

Excellent idea but no doubt the police will get sued for ruining clothing!

[B00]

Seriously?

They putting plods on the street to stop folk peeing? They've nothing better to do? Here's a crazy idea, how about they go about solving crimes instead.

[redman41]

Tend to agree with you there BOO. Might be a bit gross peeing in the street but there are more serious issues which the Police should be dealing with as a matter of priority.

[B00]

Agree Redman, peeing in the streets is disgusting, but the worst that happens is that someone gets offended. the area gets wet and it might stink a bit until it rains (which round here is usually within 10 minutes anyway!).

I'm just slightly astonished that public money is being spent on this.

[jackthehat]

I think that this is one part of a bigger picture..........
The very presence of the police on the streets armed with water-cannon will not only (hopefully) dissuade folks from peeing in doorways, but might stop the 'flash-points' around the bars and pubs of disparate groups of drunken revellers; so in effect, they are preventing 'proper' crimes from occuring.

Admittedly, we'll have to wait until afterwards to see whether it could be claimed to be a success...........but if it means I don't have to hold my breath when passing by shop-doorways the following morning, I'm all for it :o)

Hey Jack?

Mr And Mr Boo are in Blackpool next weekend, we're hitting the dreaded 40 so having a weekend away to celebrate (commiserate?) Mini Boo is with a babysitter for a few days so its PARTAYYY time.

Just for you though, i'll try to stop myself peeing in a doorway ;-)

[ummmm]

On one of those police programmes they had a brush and bucket in the back of the van (don't know how the filled it up) if anyone was caught weeing that had the option of cleaning it up or getting a fixed penalty.
