I have a friend who was a manager of a petrol station in Birmingham.
He used to actively encourage Police officers to not only feel free to access the toilets, but to enjoy a cup of tea or coffee if they wished.
Some (e.g. Professional Standards) might consider that the thin end of the wedge.He used to actively encourage Police officers to not only feel free to access the toilets, but to enjoy a cup of tea or coffee if they wished.

I never encountered any issues with access to toilets, and quite often, the chance of a cuppa.
Tea, or pee?Streaky

I once had a discussion with a building inspector about what level of 'hospitality' they might accept from people whom they were inspecting.Apparently tea & biccies were acceptable, pretty much anything else wasn't.

30 years ago there was no concept of 'sticking it to the man'.
In our enlightened council area they have closed the public toilets and initiated a 12 month trial of a Community Toilet Scheme. It is crap of course but without doubt the results of the trial will confirm that what the Council already intends to do is right.

Is your incredulity aimed towards the shop owner or the plod who pissed his pants. For me it's the latter but either way, riveting stuff.
Both, but the incredulity bit is the shop assistant refusing permission. The copper wetting his pants is astonishing and quite frankly, a bit sad.My dad was stationed around the east end during the late 50's and again in the 70's, he always said that the majority of shopkeepers would actively encourage him to pop in whilst on duty for a cuppa and something to eat, particularly when working nights. Many of these owners became friends who he remained in contact with until he died.
If only our bobbies stilled "policed" with the same level of mutual respect, which undoubtedly made policing a whole lot easier and not the constant them and us that appears to exist now

You dont have to go back that far - during the 70's /80's and 90's there was never a time where I didnt have somewhere to go for a cuppa or a pee - first thing you did was get to koww all of your shop and business premises - we'd get bked if we were caught sneaking back into the nick without good reason. Even if not Policing an area regularly, Cops should have enough savvy to be able to ask to use someones looIf only our bobbies stilled "policed" with the same level of mutual respect, which undoubtedly made policing a whole lot easier and not the constant them and us that appears to exist now

I would imagine those who have a medical need to urinate more often than normal, like Riley Blue, or to a much lesser extent, myself as a diabetic, would recieve some leeway from law enforcers, providing we were making all attempts to keep decency and obviously not pissing up someones door.
