The summer time is traditionally the time of year when local newspapers find themselves caught short on the serious news front, so we salute the Lincolnshire Echo for running a story with the headline ‘Councillors appeal to people not to pee in public'.
In what could be an ideal ‘silly season' tale, two Boston borough councillors, Carol Taylor and Mary Wright, have been putting up posters imploring residents not to urinate in the open.
The none-too-subtle posters even have a ‘banned' symbol over the silhouette of a man spending a penny, and we don't mean down the local arcade.
‘We wanted the notice to be polite and be a request, not an order, in the hope that people would show a little more respect,' said Cllr Taylor.
Clearly, that's the last time someone suggests holding a Boston pee party (Worse. Joke. Ever – Ed)! Do you see what we did there?
