Council's £150k p*** take

A council has splashed out £150,000 so workers can check the colour of their urine.

The 4,500 staff — from binmen to bosses — can match their pee with health charts on loo walls.

Nine colour-coded squares show various shades of pee.

Tameside council, in Greater Manchester, says it has helped slash absentee rates, saving 4,000 days of work. One worker said: “I thought it was a wind-up but I do now take health seriously — and I use the charts.”
