Whilst walking along a coastal path in Cornwall last weekend I noticed that the good berghers of that wondrous county had taken to placing their canine turdage in plastic bags before hoying them into nearby trees. I couldnt quite grasp the peculiar mentality that would have you pick up your dogs crap, place it in a carrier bag and then chuck it in a bush. Me and the missus had fun spotting the blighters in amongst gorse and dangling from branches though. Odd people....the Cornish, not us. :))

Used to happen in Wales to. Never really knew why.

Your suggesting reuniting the dog's dropping with its owners via their letterbox reminds me of what one of my exes did to a local Pizza Hut near our uni. Him and his mates got tired of getting olives they didn't order. They took an envelope full of the olives they'd picked off their pizzas and returned them to the shop to see how the owner liked taking delivery of olives he didn't want. Still makes me laugh now.


And am I alone in revulsing at soft brown shit on the pavement, but having to turn my back on people who are picking up after their dog's mess with one of those little plastic bags? Think how warm it still is:(

    • Would wholeheartedly recommend Aria. Quality work, very responsive, lovely guy as well. 
    • A positive update from Southwark Council - “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution.“  
    • A solicitor is acting as the executor for our late Aunt's will.  He only communicates by letter which is greatly lengthening the process.  The vast majority of legal people deal by modern means - the Electronic Communications Act that allows for much, if not all of these means is now 25 years old.   Any views and advice out there? In fuller detail: The value of the estate is not high.  There are a number of beneficiaries including one in the US.  It has taken almost three years and there is no end in sight.  The estate (house) is now damp, mouldy and wall paper falling off the wall. The solicitor is hostile, has threatened beneficiaries the police (which would just waste the police's time), and will not engage constructively. He only communicates by letter.  These are poorly written, curt or even hostile, in a language from the middle of last century, he clearly is typing these himself probably on a type writer.  Of course with every letter he makes more money. We've taken the first steps to complain either through the ombudsman and/or the SRA.  We have taken legal advice a couple of times, which of course isn't cheap, and were told that his behaviour is shocking and we'd be in our right to have him removed through the courts. But.... we just want him to get on with executing the will, primarily selling the house. However he refuses to use any other form of communication but letter.  So writing to the beneficiary in the 'States can take a month to get a reply. And even in this country a week or more. Having worked with lawyers in the past I am aware that email, tele and video conferencing and even text and WhatApp are appropriate means for communication.  There could be an immediate response to his questions.   Help!        
    • Labour should be applauded for bringing in the Renter's Rights Act.  But so many of you are carried away with slagging them off. Married couples with busy lives sometimes forget who did what. On this occasion Mr Rachel Reeves was sorting out the rental agreement.  Ms Reeves was a bit flumoxed with all the grief/demonsing/witch hunts she is getting so forgot to check with her other half.   Not the first or last time this will happen with couples. (That's not having a go at the post above)
