I have a story about this.....

 

A long time ago, a GreenMech Service Engineer had to go off into the countryside to mend a chipper left on a storage site. While at this farm industrial units, he felt the urge to go. The loo for these units was frankly awful so he elected to find and alternative.... The Vito van had two side doors and a rear, top hinged door. Brian decided to hover over a newspaper. He pulled the rear door down on the gas struts, had his overalls etc around his ankles, held on to the shelving and set about the process. There was a whoosh and it went lighter as the door was raised by a gust of wind. The sight or thought of Brian, staggering about, trying not to soil his overalls or tread in his product while reaching behind trying to shut the door will stay with me for a while!

Brian had been in the Rhodesian war as part of an elite unit, The Selous Scouts. He wore full overalls in the bush which included a hood as part of his camo outfit. He had to crouch down one day on patrol, overalls down while scanning left and right with his FN to his eye. Finished, used the pebbles, hitched up his overalls to find a dump in the hood! The rest of the S & D patrol was bad.....
