Public Urination Permitted
Status: Prank
Pranksters have placed signs in various places around Nottingham stating: "Public Urination Permitted After 7.30pm".The Nottingham City Council wants everyone to know that the signs are not telling the truth: "It is an offence to urinate in public and these signs have been put up illegally, for whatever reason."
This prank is basically the opposite of one I reported on over a year ago in which pranksters placed signs in public lavatories that read: "Think Green. Think Safe. Do you really need to go?"
