It is not a case of some people being able go for hours and some not without urinating or defecating. It is a legal requirement that facilities are provided if none are available on delivery. If that means returning to your office then so be it. It is a basic human right.

Re: TOILET BREAK - WHAT DO YOU DO??
Not sure if this is a medical Problem .I know lots of guys ,with the urgent need of a Toilet when its IPS time,Trying to get in to the toilets during IPS ,always well busy for some reason .
Also Again unsure if its a medical condition ,some guys just have no idea what the managers mean by sorting time,many are so confused they just carry on preping their own walk or in severe cases need the toilet and then return to prepping their walk.
What is this condition called ?
As for Toilet breaks on your walk,most guys I know have favourite spots!

surely by now RM should have arranged for us all to be fitted with catheters to save us having to find a toilet so we can spend more time at our frames and out on the road without the discomfort of a full bladder.

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.

\surely this is the only comment that is acceptable!It is not a case of some people being able go for hours and some not without urinating or defecating. It is a legal requirement that facilities are provided if none are available on delivery. If that means returning to your office then so be it. It is a basic human right.
No wonder so many revisions go wrong if this basic human right is ignored by staff! almost as bad as starting before your time.
In most instances if you drink the correct amount of fluids/day (minimum 2.5 litres/day sedentry lifestyle) you would need to go once, probably twice during a four hour delivery. If that means returning to delivery office for a welfare break built into duties then surely everybody recognises the importance of this issue? Why would you want to restrict essential fluids in order to avoid or extend the need to pee? Royal mail managers must be having a right laugh. Nobody is going to get conduct code or sacked for this basic human right so use it to your advantage!!

Well it's a simple solution when you get to a certain age, you just do it in your pants, everyone expects old people to stink of p*ss and cooked cabbage, a not too dissimilar aroma.
