Yourself.

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...

    • Hey fellow cat owners! Was hoping that you would consider putting collars with bells on your outside cats? I’ve wee fledglings in a nest and at the moment I’m defending them against an orange and white dude (I call him Trump) and his nemesis, a lovely Tuxedo cat (I call Elon)… they are quite the double act in my back garden!!!! It would give the wee ones a bit of a better chance if a bell could announce their approach. And as a feline owner myself, I know cats will be cats, but every little helps even the odds. many thanks.
