Death of the Urinal Accessories

Walking past the nearby police post recently, I spotted something relating to a previous blog (Indecent Exposure, Jan 31st). The outdoor urinals built behind the post, giving those walking, riding and driving past a perfect profile view of men urinating, have been stripped of their flower pots. Some rather fetching baskets of orchids had been hung above the urinals but have now, for reasons unknown, been removed. Perhaps the men using the urinals had too good an aim, leaving the flowers unwatered. I have not once seen a female police officer at that post (hence, I suppose, the complete lack of a toilet) so I don't expect the orchids were ever watered with actual water and therefore probably withered and died. Of course, hanging a couple of baskets of pretty flowers above the urinal never really detracted from the hideousness of the sight of men weeing in full sight of the road and pavement in broad daylight, without even a partial fence/bush/wall ( anything would have been better than nothing) to hide their bits. It's really no different to a woman squatting above a hole in the ground. We wouldn't though.
