Looking out of the window this afternoon
 
we've seen local kids, aged 10-12, peeing in the neighbour's bushes and a middle aged woman who couldn't be bothered to pick up after her dog on the same neighbour's garden........ Guess that's the price you pay for living in a French neighbourhood!

I'm in an office in Louisiana bereft of a window at present. The cajuns might be peeing outside but I'll never know.

Maybe you'll be able to tell when you step outside?

I'm not at all comfortable with the implied stereotyping in this post.

Just saying.

I thought your tendancy for inadvertent urination was a factor of old age, as opposed to the time you spend in France?

Given the OP's concerns about the French influence, perhaps I should tread warily.

I always urinate advertently irrespective of domicile or ethnicity. How about you?

I can see sunshine and blue skies, I know it's crisp outside from letting the dog out, I shall go and get chilly in a mo' as I take him for a walk and then spend the rest of the day in an over heated mall, not seeing any sort of outside until about 5:30pm, when it will be cooling down again:thumbdown:
