A reward of ?10,000 to the genius who invents a device which detonates any dog shitting on an East Dulwich pavement - leaving my blind mum - and others -to tread in its vile droppings.


An additional sum of ?10,000 will be paid for a device causing the aforementioned shit to materialise instantly in the living room of the miscreant owner.


Serious applicants only.

You're looking at it from the wrong angle.

You need a device which fits into people's shoes which can detect the smell of dog shit at ground level, so another way of dealing with it is using a tube stuck up someone's nostril which drops down and bends forward about 12 inches so they can smell at floor level.


I claim my ?10,000. The rule doesn't state a prototype need be made.

...or you could try getting an ex-sniffer dog, then you've got the added bonus that you might discover someone's hidden stash B)

'Cause the dog would end up on Britain's Got Talent

Man

there goes the Neighbourhood toilet :'(


I claim the reward as I have invented Doggy nappies that solves both problems, no Dog Shit on the street, and when the dog gets home the nappy falls of an leaves the shit on the owners floor.


Just field tested one and apart from a squidgy bum, which feels strange, they work

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
