    The ONE AND ONLY issue i had with it was the child was in full view of everyone going in/out of Tesco and the guy didnt think to be discreet.
    Nothing more nothing less but some people on here seem determined to make it about more than that (maybe i could have worded it better but that is it):)

    But then you went on to mention child abuse - hence the reference to p*edophiles and perverts. Seems I didn't misread after all? :p

    (I've never understood the point of the Ignore button, when you know the "ignorer" will click to view the post anyway ;) )

    maybe the child was very new to potty training? when mine were just getting used to potty training they would hold themselves til the last moment then have to go right there and then. For the first few weeks i carried a potty around with me everywhere. i must admit tho that most of the time they sat on the potty in the car and then i would discreatly tip it down a drain / flower bed etc.

    I guess some on here are the same people who would deem it fine for their children to be naked on the beach because hey thats fine wheres the harm in that

    Erm, yes. Since when did naked children become something inapppropriate? Oh, is that since the media whipped the public up into a pedo frenzy?

    Like I said above, your reaction speaks volumes about the way you think. If you can't see a child's bottom or a naked child on a beach without having sinister thoughts, shame on you.

    I have to admit this would annoy me too.

    It's not the bare bottom that would annoy me but the fact that someone could be so shameless as to make their child urinate in such a public way. It's not as if public toilets are scarce and even then there are discreet ways of letting a child wee (in corner etc).

    It seems a bit chavvy that's all.

    It'd !!!! me off too, to be honest. Especially if there are toilets a few metres away (as most Tesco toilets are near the front of stores I've found).
