Default 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!

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
