Absolutely not. It's an offence. I've also seen a woman doing it along the New River Walk.

I think it is unacceptable but i don't know what to do about it when you see it...
A couple of weekends ago i saw an older gentleman weeing into a bin on green lanes at about 1pm on a Saturday with shoppers milling about him. Everyone was looking the other way and letting him go about his business so to speak.
Part of me wanted to say something to him as i think it is inapppropriate and shouldn't be ignored but the other part of me was worried that he may have a medical condition which means he gets "caught short" and he could be very embarrassed about it.
In the end I didn't say anthing but still wonder whether i should have......!!

Weeing into a public bin is unacceptable - the person who empties the bin has enough to contend with without having urine seeping out at them aswell, plus I know my children often touch the area when putting in rubbish.
There's a massive shortage of public toilets but it still annoys me when (usually) men wee in enclosed public spaces like the passage as it does really smell & is disgusting. Why can't they use the toilets in the bookies or the pubs?

No, yuk, not in the Passage! Urine is smelly and kids use the Passage, however a discreet tiddle behind a tree when its completely out of sight such as the middle of Epping Forest is ok.

That's a long way to go for a wee..
Maybe we could investigate some form of outdoor urinals for the area? I've seen them being used in central London, and they're all the rage on the continent.
Let's face it, it's a problem that's unlikely to go away, so maybe something positive to accommodate those who feel the need to go in public might help cause less offence?
Just a thought, given the lack of available trees in the area

Haringey Council Introduced a scheme last March whereby shops, cafes etc would be encouraged to open their toilets free of charge to the general public. The response seems to have been less than enthusiastic, there being only six participating businesses, all in N15/N17

"No, yuk, not in the Passage!"
(Rolls around on the floor laughing)
That is a classic, sorry!
This is rather anti-social but I'm not sure why the police would be interested.

The short answer is HELL NO! There's no excuse. It's horrible an unhygienic. And as usual these pigs (apologies to actual pigs here, they're much cleaner) have no regard for others, and clearly take no pride in where they live. They should receive an electric shock when they try to do this. Would serve them right. YUCK!

Mmm, was in Germany at the weekend and saw a women weeing in public. We thought it was a bloke having a Thora, but when the the heavens opened it became apparent that it was a lady who needed to go. Us English found it funny, the locals didn't raise an eyebrow including the local police. I am not saying that weeing in a bin in the middle of the day is okay, but we all get caught short once in a while. We do get too het up about pretty most things here don't we?
