Could not agree more, a Toilet cost's at most £50.00, not much considering.

A bucket costs about £1.50 out the supermarket.....even less!

Aha!

At first I thought we were discussing a man emptying his porta potti into the hedge - but as I read on I realised it was a child's potty, presumably with just a wee in it?

Personally I don't see anything wrong with that - but I do think he should do it near his own tent, not someone elses.

When one takes into account all the other things that may have wee'ed there - foxes, rabbits, badgers, sparrows, thrushes etc, I don't think a couple of child's wees is either here or there.

But if it was his Porta potti complete with chunky bits and soggy paper - then I would definately have complained to him most forcefully and reported him to site management.

This happened to us at a festival a couple of years ago, although we didn't see the perpetrator in action. We stuck a large sign by it saying DANGER - HUMAN EXCREMENT and told the clean up crew, who bravely sorted it and then put up a BEWARE - CONTAMINATION sign. It didn't happen again - they must have got the message. There was really no excuse as there were CD points on the field. 

Hi Valk-scot I presume your post was directed at mine. Can I just say that the situations I refered to were odd occasions when the fire was blazing and the bucket was full of water, so behind the tent was a good option.

As for dogs only peeing on walkies, some dogs must be constantly on the go. Most dog owners I know (myself included before he passed away) don't let the dog pee in the house. The garden however is a different story. As Boredercaz so rightly says the great outdoors is overflowing with all sorts of wee. I never meant to single out dog owners (i shall be one again once the camping season is over new black lab pup coming soon) just trying to understand the outrage.

You could always go totally OTT and take two buckets????? That's what I do.
