Mutt you got that right. But not ALWAYS shy... Here's one more

---..

You know that "Gents" is another term for sidewalk.

The City of Helsinki is somewhat concerned about two aspects of urban life at present, to wit the presence of "ladies of the night" in some districts, and the weakness of the Finnish bladder. A few years ago the old draconian rules about public alcohol consumption were relaxed, with the result that major street festivals - May Eve and the Helsinki Festival's "Night of the Arts" are two that come to mind - have become very liquid indeed, to the point of public urination in places where people shouldn't. The city fathers are trying to curb both the hookers and the piss-artists. If you plan to be in Helsinki on May Eve, pack rubber boots.
