what im suggesting is that a speed limit is pointless and people need to use common sense, ie im cycling round and I come across a family learning to roller blade I slow down!! you cant regualte everything, I wish people would just grow up and get along.

A speed limit is a speed limit. It is there for a reason and applies to you. Cyclists that consider laws are there to be ignored give all cyclists a bad name.


> I wish people would just grow up and get along


I'm pretty sure it's not everyone else that needs to do the growing up, just you.

It's dog versus child so it would appear.. A one man's battle... Hilarious! If I thought it was worth something I would give my tuppence but best that one of us act like an adult. It's been grwat chatting to you Mule, keep up the banter as it makes for entertaining reading..>:D

I don't think dog owners and child owners are all that different in the park.


A dog owner may let his/her hound off the leash and able to approach passers by without realising the passer by may be afraid that this dog will attack or bite them. A child owner does the same except the fear is that the child will run into the passer by's legs/shins and be knocked flat and end up crying - both situations are uncomfortable for the passer by and both could be avoided by keeping the animals in question under control.


Both are noisy and smelly and impossible to love ouside of their immediate family - which does not stop their respective owners imagining that their dog/child (or dogchild) is universally loved and admired.


Dog mess is not the dog's fault any more than a soiled nappy discarded in the bushes is the child's and the annoyance caused by a continually barking dog can easily be matched by the screams of toddlers turning the park's cafe into another playground.


And I have seen both chase after/run blindly towards cyclists leaving the latter in peril - on these occasions breaking the speed limit should be permissable.

Good point, but with the exception of my kids and, obviously, Frankito's dog!






Although, on reflection, probably just Frankito's dog...

      Foxes, and how to get rid

      By Sue · Posted

      Yes, they are intelligent ❤️ Various methods of deterring the foxes (aka stopping them coming and crapping on your lawn) have been suggested in this thread. If you don't want to try them, and prefer to keep clearing up the crap and complaining about it, well that's YOUR choice 🙄

      Dogs out today in unbearable heat

      By beansprout · Posted

      Weather going to be hot from today thru to weekend so I hope all dog owners walk their pooches early in the morning or in the cool of the evening. Woofers can survive the odd day without going for walkies in the heat or having to race around with their pack in the heat. Try brain games with them around the house - hid treats for them to find, given them a kong..  Mental stimulation is as good and beneficial as walkies and does tire them out.     And whilst on the subject of heat and dogs, do remember that leaving a couple of windows open while you run into a shop etc to get groceries etc …. Is not good enough / the inside of a car obviously gets very very hot… and one could be delayed in ship, thru no fault of your own - meanwhile, your woofer is suffering.  Common sense really and if you are a new owner, probably really never thought it through ie walking dogs in heat or leaving them in car in heat. The majority of people on this site are caring, supportive people only offering advice, expressing concern when they see stupidity.

      Coordinated posts intended to mould opinions and silence debate

      Weirdly (well, weird as it happened very shortly after I had posted that) I got a notice the other day (the first time in the near enough twenty years since I joined the forum) telling me I had reached my limit of "reactions". I posted a screenshot on here. However I did not actually seem be prevented  from  making any more!   What is your purpose in doing that? This is a useful, long running and well loved (by me, anyway) local forum. It provides information on matters of local interest, an opportunity to easily sell or give away  unwanted things and buy or be given things you want, information on upcoming local events and interest groups. It is also a well moderated place to discuss both local and wider issues. And it is used by a variety of different kinds of people, as would be expected - we all have different personalities, experiences and opinions, and that's part of what makes the forum such a great local asset. Since rescuing the forum when the previous admin left - it could have disappeared altogether - Joe has put and continues to put an enormous amount of work into setting it up on a different platform (?) , maintaining it, and keeping it a safe and pleasant place for everyone using it. I'm sure you and others will correct me if I'm wrong, but it feels to me that dissecting "posters and their patterns" in the way you describe - presumably then to post the results on here?  - is just going to sow seeds of discord which could stop some people posting altogether and generally change the whole nature of the forum. I think that would be very sad, and I hope that that isn't your intention? Are you going to include your own posts in this? You have joined the forum relatively recently, and seem to be self-described as a "Pain".
