I woke this morning to more snow and two men urinating in my courtyard. Poles piss in the streets everywhere. There is a Ukrainian saying 'Where is the toilet? The toilet is everywhere!' That seems to apply to the whole of the ex-eastern bloc.
I used to complain to the offenders but got only argument and aggression in return. It is part of their culture. But I will never get used to it. The daily pools of piss outside my front door, rank in the winter and ranker in the summer, are a part of life in Poland. It cannot be avoided. Nobody cares. The women don't do it, so why do the men have to? I wonder if the millions that have fled to the UK are pissing in public or do they realise that it would not be so welcome there?
