It can be hard for couriers to find a place to spend a penny – but it is harder still to offer your own loo without it sounding strange
I saw a young woman recently lugging empty crates into the back of her supermarket delivery van. It was parked some distance from the entrance of the block where I live. I asked her what the job was like. She said she had not been doing it long and it wasn’t too bad apart from all the lifting, with which she was struggling.
I’ve always thought the job must be a lot easier outside towns and cities, where parking tends to be tricky. “That’s true,” she said. “But the biggest problem I have, whatever route I’m on, is finding somewhere to go to the toilet. By the time I’ve found a toilet to use, I’ve got behind on my drops and I get into trouble.”
