I've decided that as a non-dog owner that I'll be taking myself for a walk every morning and having a poo on the pavement outside other people's homes and letting little children step into it on their way to school. As they say if you can't beat them, join them.


If I was caught I would claim that I had irresponsible parents and that I didn't have any plastic bags in my rucksack.


Leaving dog poo on pavements should be a criminal offence punishable with having to pick up dog poo off the streets with your bare hands every morning for 2 years. This should do the trick.


Don't get me started on other people's cats pooing in my garden and not their own...

Cats poo on bare soil or gravel, so if you cover your bare space with actual plants, they should go elsewhere.


Can't help with the dog poo, I share your pain.

I must disagree about the cat poo- they regularly poo on grass and it is disgusting to remove especially if it is a bit sloppy, and it stinks and kills the grass

Oh OK, fair enough, I've never seen cat poo on grass, but then I don't have a lawn at the moment.

I am also disgusted by the amount of dog poo on the pavements in East Dulwich - at least once a week I find a heap greeting me by my front gate and I still haven't caught the serial pooper. I am an avid dog lover and appreciate that everyone needs to poo but owners not picking it up is truly disgusting and they should be fined - in fact I can't think of any signs around where I live - I know people ignore them but they wouldn't do any harm.


The worst yet was this morning waiting at bus stop - dog poo on the floor and on the seat! Presuming this was someone cleaning their shoe but they can go in the same camp as the dog walking fre-pooers if you ask me. So gross.

It is vile - 3 times in the last week I've seen people watch, or embarrassingly drag their poor dog along, as it shits on the pavement. Never once seen anyone qualified to fine them actually doing so, though. It's far too difficult to manage. And it's not like poo-bags are not free! Also have pulled over on numerous occasions to hand someone a poo bag as their pooch squats.

That's fox poo.

I totally agree. I'm a dog owner but hate it when I come across dog poos regardless of where i am. I have left the house on the odd occasion having forgotten a bag, and been caught out by my dog, so I've used whatever I could find - a leaf, an old tissue, an old receipt, but I never just leave it there. Where there's a will, there's a way. Mind you, my dog is quite small, so that helps with poo size of course!

Not just irresponsible dog owners leaving the poo on pavements....I had an unpleasant incident today when my 14 month old daughter put her hand in some dog poo on goose green. Luckily I intervened before it went into her mouth (as most other things do at that age)

I love dogs but it's terrible when their humans don't pick up after them.

Was Just wondering the other day if there has been an increase in dog mess lying around or is it me being overly observant as I'm getting out more ;), but have witnessed a few Sh*t and runs, mainly by younger people with dogs on the pavement.

My personal experience of cat poop after having 4 at one point is its normaly quite hard and they always buried it in my herbaceous borders (they loved the wood chip) or used the litter try never on the lawn, cats have an instinct to bury & hide their presence, as not to put of any "prey" nearby, even burying their pee. Foxes don't give a Sh*T when feeling the urge, and its nasty and runny, they love to do it on your shoes too if you leave them out by the door, as my neighbour found out.

  • 3 weeks later...

I had to replace my front doormat as no matter what I tried the fox kept coming back and doing it in the same place.


This weekend seems to have been particularly bad for dog mess. On Saturday Dulwich Woods were everyone seemed to be walking with their heads down to avoid treading in it. Yesterday and today I wanted to sit and read in Dulwich Park and finding a spot with no family group and no poo was tricky.

    • What stricter consequences could there be for shoplifting than being put into jail, do you think?
    • Returning to the original question, I had my jabs at Tessa Jowell yesterday. I was early and I was  seen on time, and it was a lovely pharmacist who did them, but the admin beforehand (not by her) was a bit iffy. I was given forms to fill in but not told what to do with them afterwards, so I  presumed I had to take them into the consulting room, as the rest was supposed to be filled in by a clinician, but no! After some time had elapsed and I had found a seat (there was no information on where to sit either, so people were sitting in two separate areas, neither of which had many seats) my name was called and  the forms were taken behind the counter. Be aware if you don't have an appointment - even in the relatively short time I was there, three people turned up without appointments having been sent there by a GP (I presume) or having  previously been  asked by the pharmacy to come  back at a different time, and they were all sent away again because the pharmacy didn't have enough flu vaccine until the following day. I have no idea if this was due to a misunderstanding on the people's side, their GP's or the pharmacy's, but none of them were very happy, and one lady said she "couldn't keep coming back" 😭  At least one of them didn't seem to understand what he was being told, possibly due to a language issue. I felt quite sorry for the pharmacist, who was giving jabs all day on top of her usual workload but still managing to stay cheerful! Though she wasn't the one dealing with the unhappy people! I have a sore arm from the Covid jab (I chose to have the jabs in different arms), but no other ill effects so far, touch wood. 
    • Line speed and the strength of your Wi-Fi signal are two separate things.  The first is determined by the type of connection (fibre/copper etc) to the outside world and the second is the connection between the device (printer/TV/laptop/tablet etc) and the router. If you are connecting a device to the router using cables (as Alec1 is) then this is will give the best possible connection but isn't practical for many without a degree of upheaval and even then not all devices (tablets for example) will allow a wired connection. So you relying on the quality of the Wi-Fi signal from the router to the device and this will depend on the quality of the router, the type of Wi-Fi connection (the frequency), line of sight etc - many different things.  This is why some people opt for a "mesh" type setup which is supposed to give a solid quality of Wi-Fi signal around the house with little or no blackspots.  It's expensive though and still requires the devices that send and receive the signal (like the plug-ins you have) to be wired to the router.
    • We have had a few cat flaps over the years but none have been electronic. They just have a small clip that you turn to lock or open.  Some come with a magnet and a matching magnet that the cat wears on its collar  This prevents other cats entering.  I've not used these as I don't like the idea of a cat wearing a collar. Cats do like to be out at night and you need to encourage yours to return after a late evening sortie. Calling,rustling treat wrappers worked for ours but he seems to have now got into the habit of coming back about 9pm. without this.
