All we need now is -15 for five hours again.

One postie collapsed on delivery last week. Welcome to the future where we get allocated a bottle of lucozade and are told to use it as our toilet when empty.
Run, rabbit run. Dig that hole, forget the sun.
And when at last the work is done. Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one

:hmmmm I'm not too sure about how small peoples bladders are but I can easily go 6 hours without needing to go, if you can't go 3/4 hours without needing to wee then you should visit your doctor and get him to run some tests on you.


And if can also ask............how much coffee do you drink before going out :hmmmm

Best thing Ive found is to not have any caffiene before you go out on your round because it makes you need a piss every half hour.

Also eat something salty since salt makes your body retain water so you wont need to piss as much.

:hmmmm I think I've deciphered your post............excessive peeing is a medical condition which can be dealt with by a medical professional (tablets and surgery) and as for dying - yes you can but it's way beyond the several hours we are out and into the days range.

Toiled stops should be built into the revisions,cast iron bladders or not.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

If I have to go to the toilet on delivery I will go, if that means going off duty to use a toilet then so be it. I can't belive people on here are moaning about not being allowed to go to the toilet how old are you all?
If you can't complete your duty because you went off route to use the toilet then oh well, if the management try to bully you then just grow a pair.

:sad: Most women need to go to the loo a lot! Thankfully, I have always been on walks with plenty toilets I can use, but couldn't imagine how it is for some people.

Yeah but were do you go?
if you are city, its easy enough, there are plenty of places, bookies, bars, public bogs etc, residential could be a bit more challenging if there are lack of shops, bars. im residential but im lucky to deliver to a bookies, old peoples home, and a hospital. but i suppose if it came to a push, and there was a shortage of places to piss, then i would go in the back of the van and piss in an empty pop bottle. rural should be easy enough,,,,farmers field, as long as there are no bulls in it.

i cant for the life of me see anybody holding it in to the point of keeling over and snuffing it. nature would take its course and it would just come out. if you cant pee when you need to, then there is something seriously wrong and its a medical emergency.

I go before i leave the office.
Usually that's enough.
If i needed to go i would go.
If it meant a 10 minute drive so be it.
I wouldn't pee in a bottle or in some farmers field.
You get arrested and put on the sex offenders list for that s**t up here. :nervous
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

I wonder how people can go 8 hours without needing to pee and then not be able to go 3 hours before bursting to go :hmmmm

As someone said, stop the coffee and tea and make sure you go before you leave the office and then the problems shouldn't happen :Very Happy
