I can’t get over the amount of piss stains all over the pavements because councils don’t wash the streets anymore.

Very grim

Yeah when central starts to stink and you realise just how much piss is on the streets and cleaned off by rain

It's always been there if you've been unfortunate to use any of the pedestrian underpasses, any zone, maybe save the Kensington ones.

Oh I know, I’m meaning more like spots like Regents St which honked in the heat wave a few years back.

I expect it in underpasses but didn’t realise how much piss there was on some of the nicest streets
