However, Shanghaiist pointed out that according to the Bicester Village map, the free-for-use public restrooms were in fact only a couple of minutes away.

In Singapore, we've also had our fair share of similar unsanitary public incidents the past few years.

Back in August last year a 34-year-old Singaporean woman with a long history of schizophrenia and intellectual disability was caught on camera relieving herself outside of Holland MRT station.

It caused quite a commotion on social media in Singapore as people initially tried to guess if she was local or foreign before her identity was revealed.
