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.

    • Thanks for posting this JMK we have had 3 children at Charter East so have been involved with the school from the very early days and have watched the impact of inconsistent, unsupportive and at worst unprofessional and biased management on them over the years. Individual teachers have at times been great and as JMK says it is the overall structure that creates a toxic and punitive atmosphere which directly impacts some families more than others and these are the kids overwhelmingly that have an SEN.  The experience of these families is night and day compared with the families with children that can cope in this system.  
    • Another recommendation for Lukasz, he sorted out our bifold door. He came at the agreed time, found the issue very quickly, adjusted it, all very carefully and with attention to detail. And he was very reasonably priced as well. 
    • Well sure someone will correct me but years ago, in Singapore and I was quite young so not sure if it is true. but if you were caught stealing, your little finger or just the  tip part with nail was chopped off.  Stigma for  life as all know that was punishment for stealing… no questions asked.Totally agree it is barbaric but equally putting people  into overcrowded prison for minor offences is also not right. Tagging I guess would not work or maybe does… no idea at all.  Not so long ago, heard a talk about how European’s cope/deal with prisoners and how the suggest rate is higher and offences lowered greatly as in not going back to prison for same  or another offence.  The general gist was their approach was each prisoner mattered , was heard and listens to and a suitable package was tailored towards their needs. Not  b one package for all. Not cooped up for the majority of the day - encouraged as an example to cook, garden, grow food, other household stuff  plus study if wanted for courses, languages etc. and mental health, dependency on substance abuse also addressed. Can’t remember if they were paid c pocket money which clearly accumulated or could be used to  I purchase whatever in prison. If they can do it by experimenting and I think but not sure, at the time an English prison was learning why can’t this sort of program be rolled  out throughout UK - cut backs not an excuse - think of the millions lost by govt during Covid…  Maybe it is - no experience in the matter at all.   
    • Why have things got so complicated? I suppose a cat flap with a timer might be useful for people out all day but can't really see the point of them when its so easy to flip a simple mechanical lock. This is how my last cat flap operated but had to be replaced when cat wearing cone of shame tried to escape and broke it. The cat flap I have now is one of those linked to cats microchip but even then there is just a four way dial which allows different kinds of access - or not. Not that cat is bothered, refuses to use it and demands i open the door for her. This is bit of a rant because along with a new boiler I got a new electronic programmer which is really annoying as it takes 5 minutes to change a simple temperature whereas with old programmer it took 10 seconds. Hope you get sorted @oglander and enjoy your future servitude to your feline master.
