Dog excrement!

[fractionater]

Is it my imagination or is Dog excrement becoming an increasing feature of the streets of E.Dul?

Could it be that the "Chav's" who are roaming the streets with their Staff. Bull Terriers are just to hard/cool to clear up after their Dog fouls the pavements?

What can be done?

[spadetownboy]

dont know about the streets of ed,but my kitchen and living room are being hit hard at the mo.i picked up a 7 week old springador pup on the 21st and hes a one man slurry tank.i have tried using the pads but no chance.anybody got any tips.

[mightyroar]

Can we phone the wardens?

[fractionater]

..what to pick up the poop?

[snorky]

"dog eggs" if you please

[Nero]

020 7525 2000 to request a clean and also 'bag it and bin it' signs for the pavement.

Hey you all,

It's NOT the dog's fault. The owner needs to be trained before owning a dog (tu)

[Ko]

If you call the council they come and clear it up on the same day usually. Yes it is a big problem. Especially with the roads being so dimly lit at night!

[Incitatus]

Or, we could just get creative!

It's all the rage in NYC darling.

Can we just end all this talk of dog do and just watch where we step and let the professionals do the cleaning up of said products.

uuuuuhhh!! please!

[Keef]

Why in God's name should a professional have to do it!?!? As far as I know, Southwark don't employ Dog Mess Cleaners, and if I were a street cleaner, I'd feel that clearing up everyone's pet's mess was a touch above and beyond the call of duty!

Owners of the dogs should clean up, plain and simple! If they don't, they're gits, and I guess the poor street cleaners will be left to do it, but anyone who doesn't pick up after their animal, thinking that it's someone else's responsibility is an irresponsible, inconsiderate arsehole! :X

Here endeth my Monday morning rant.

I live by Goose Green and I see people exercising their dogs and most of them do pick up their "dog's eggs", however there are a few who don?t. What can I do? I've better things to do and I'm not sad enough (yet) to sit there with a telephoto lens and capture the perpetrators on camera and report them to the dog pooh police. Am I legally allowed to rub their noses in it? Can I fling it back at them whilst shouting "excuse me, you forgot this"?

Scenario: You're walking through Goose Green in the summer and there's people playing frisbee and children doing roly-polys(? ). You see a couple with their dog, the dog poohs and the three of them happily walk off without picking it up, what would you do?

[spymum]

Mark, in my case it depends on how big they both are (and the dog too)! I have once been brave enough to order a bloke with one of those scary pit bull type dogs out of a children's play area though. Having owned a dog, and having been able to endure the yuckiness of picking up handfuls of warm dog poo, I reckon anyone can do it!

Clean up after your dogs y'all!

Melbourne Grove is dog sh*t alley. I hate the way that every single tree has its little pile of turds adorning its base. I find myself having to gingerly watch my every step walking home in the darkness to avoid the smeared mess on the pavements. Think the whole thing is a weird chav's revenge class war kind of action..

[fractionater]

I live on Worlingham rd and that is heading that way too.

[capt_birdseye]

Did anyone see the posters some strange person used to put on a tree near the church on Melbourne Gr? Loads of ranting about how they were going to call the council about all the DOG MESS. It's clearly a burning issue in the local community.

[mockney piers]

Ooh, I'm not sure burning is the solution!!

Hold on, the pooh, the dogs or their owners?

[capt_birdseye]

Both, for good measure. That'd learn em.

I think the G and B woman has a future in broadcasting if she wants it. It was a great night. She was so well informed and it was good to put names to faces. Black Cherry good too. Nero

[Mark]

errr, wrong thread, I think it was meant to go in this one

[capt_birdseye]

or he's being extremely sarcastic.

[spadetownboy]

you think ed is bad,i went to calais last weekend to fill up the old cellar,you could hardly place your feet for the amount of dog crap on the ground and that was in the town centre.i know ed is hardly crap free but compared to calais it was nothing,it really put me off going back there. by the way first time on the shuttle fantastic,knocks spots off the ferry.

Was having a stroll in Dulwich park on Sat, and a group of chav's (smoking spliffs) were wondering around with a mean looking staff terrier type of thing.... Anyway it decided to lay a cable on the park and they just walked off and left it there! I didn't say anything though, as they looked quit mean, and I didn't want to get my head kicked in.
