Well I sort of wonder and get puzzled by "calls of nature" when motoring. They happen and in most cases we make it to safe refuge. But there will be times where roadside relief is inevitable? Right or wrong also a time when "officials" will want to gong you.
So in the recent 24/48+ hour Dover delays I did not see the authorities laying on portable loo facilities for those poor stranded drivers. So I have to assume that they used roadside facilities which were we to do on a "normal" day we would get gonged for?
Whilst possibly exceptional circumstances they are not as exceptional as one might think and certainly a fact. So this then begs the question as to why these sorts of essential facilities are not part of the "emergency planning" procedures for these expected long port delay/disruption etc. events that they with infinite wisdom plan stacking / detours to lorry parks / etc ????
