I am ashamed to say my 6 year old grand daughter refuses to pee 'al fresco' - and it's nothing to do with me doing it in front of her!
Her mum and aunt have done it - but her aunt still manages to pee on her shoes!!!

THAT's when I realised it was an art!!

Reminds me of the time my friend and I had pulled into a lay-by so he could have a sleep while I read the paper.
Car pulled up in front of us. Passenger door opened, elderly lady steps out and proceeds to lower her knickers, behind the open door !!!!

The open door shielded her from passing traffic - but not from my gaze!!
I put the paper down and slowly slid down my seat. closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep!!

Definitely write these down for posterity.

Toilet Tales - they'd be a great collection!

Oh Berona - that is so yukky! I do hate some of those continental loos - I'm not surprised I get constipated when I'm away sometimes!

Peeing 'al fresco' - a hint:
Get a long coat that zips both up and down - Barbour types do this, but I have an M&S one that does it too.

When the urge arises (or the garage loos are just too disgusting to use), after finding a suitable bush/tree trunk to hide behind, zip your coat open from the bottom up to just below waist level, then you can pull down whatever is necessary, face the tree or bush and you coat covers the nether regions!!
In this position, if anyone comes along, you can pretend you are intently studying the flora and fauna around the bush/tree. A cry of 'Fred/Harry there's an amazing *whatever* here' will also detract from your real purpose for this interesting position.
Also keeps the buttocks warm in this chilly weather.

OOoh Yuk Berona!!

Was the 'hole in the ground' the shower too?

We stayed in France when I was 15 - the 'toilet hole' was also the shower - and it was seperated from the kitchen by......
a shower curtain!!!
