Big shout out to white male, 40s, short thinning mousey hair and beard, blue jumper, dog lead around your neck, in Dulwich Woods with two small dark-haired boys, presumably your sons, and a white and tan bulldog this lunchtime. You stood smiling and watching as your dog defecated beside the path next to the old railway bridge and then walked on without doing anything about it. Guess you don't care about anyone else's kids stepping or falling on it as long as yours don't.


Yes, I know it's passive-aggressive, he probably doesn't use the forum, blah blah, but he looked classic EDF to me and if he doesn't read this I bet someone who knows him will.


Drives me nuts. If you're not going to pick up after your dog, it's a sign you're not ready to have one.

I think it's time dogs were banned in London now. There is / are dog owner(s) that let their beasts crap outside the school on Adys Rd and leave their filth behind for the children to wade through on their way thought the gates.


It's an appallingly selfish way to carry on

There is no reliable scientific study which supports that claim. A recent study in the US concluded that 163M cats and dogs in that country have the same environmental impact as 13.6M cars, i.e. less than a tenth of a car per pet. This can be further mitigated by feeding dogs a principally cereal based diet.


Odd that you, Abe, a noted defender of the motor car, want to ban dogs from London because of their effect on the environment but shriek with indignation any time banning motor cars, even from one street, is suggested. People not picking up after their dogs is disgusting and I'd gladly have them banned from keeping dogs, but I don't believe that 10,000 premature deaths in London each year are contributed to by dogs.

Oddly, not so much - I love them both but my family have always fed our dogs on a mainly cereal based diet with a drop of catfood in it, and they've always been massively healthy and long lived (plus it saves a fortune, we've always had big dogs) and fart a lot less - whereas with our cats it's virtually impossible to feed them on anything but meat and fish. Different digestive systems.


Anyway, it pales into insignificance compared to the emissions from animals used for human meat and dairy, pets really are a drop in the ocean in this context.

Link please.

No comment on the carbon footprint of a dog..but the faeces footprint all over our streets is clear to see.


Also....yesterday got home and front gate and bottom of path were drenched in a yellow, deep puddle of dog piss. Now I know know that you can't pick up dog piss, but letting him do it in the middle of someone's front path?

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters uo north. They also happened to b e leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about hisolitics. Corbynmania was thing but it was also the making of his downfall.
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
