Just had one of these coaches in my hgv parking, the driver thinks its eceptable to let his coach full off filthy animals urinate all over the carpark and side of the building rather than use the toilets provided and didnt bother to step in when security tryed to stop them, i know the attitude its not my problem, poor excuse for a coach driver and doesnt look good for the company.
