….on my way home from the office yesterday:
None the wiser (and having unburdened myself of the reasons for my own ‘purchase’) I decided to engage the young man in conversation to see just how well-founded his anger was and whether he’d like my support for any subsequent consumer campaign, letters to BBC Watchdog etc. I’m afraid I can’t recall what happened after that.

“20p fur a p*** man, f**cking shocking!”Struck by the young man’s obvious anger at this arrangement I wondered if it was rooted in the idea that he should be charged at all for the opportunity to relieve himself or if he was just objecting to the price Glasgow City Council had arrived at. If the latter then presumably some sort of cost-benefit analysis was involved but the mind boggled at the details – weight, volume, olfactory impact..?
