Pop-Up Toilets to Cut Street Urination Tue Mar 26, 7:36 AM ET LONDON (Reuters) - Pop-up toilets that rise from the ground at night will be installed in central London in a bid to dissuade late-night male revelers from urinating against walls and doorways. The self-cleaning telescopic urinals, which Westminister City Council hopes to have in place by autumn, will emerge from under the ground and be retracted in the day via remote control. "By moving them underground it means they are not an obstacle in the day," a council spokeswoman said Monday. The council has already deployed mobile urinals which have been placed on the streets Friday and Saturday nights to cut down street urination. The telescopic toilet is currently only available in Europe, Westminster council said. Cheerio, please stop urinating on the streets. |

how do you tell a culture 10,000 years from now that we've created something dangerous? This place is not a place of honor. No highly esteemed deed is commemorated here. Nothing valued is here. This place is a message and part of a system of messages. Pay attention to it! Sending this message was important to us. We considered ourselves to be a powerful culture.
