While this may, at first, seem a little shocking, I (and I suspect most Londoners) am not particularly fazed by it. In fact, after trying unsuccessfully for two weeks to get a plumber to fix my sewerage drain, I would happily allow them to urinate in my water supply if only they would show up when they say they are going to. I can always drink bottled water but I can't find alternative ways to dispose of my sewerage. The best I can do is try to hold it all in until I get to work but this can play havoc with your image on the tube. The other day someone threw a coin in front of me as I danced up and down waiting for my stop to arrive.

So here's an offer to all plumbers: Come and fix my drain and you can wee anywhere you want.
