Like the turds on the street, these threads are hard to miss.


I am still not sure what the purpose of moaning about poo on the forum is. It wont move the poo.


Contact the councillors directly (details regularly posted on the forum), or speak to the owners at the time (where possible).

"I am still not sure what the purpose of moaning about poo on the forum is"


Perhaps the purpose could be for those of us who have a dog to prove their innocence and thereby remove themselves from any associated opprobrium. So here goes:


I have never walked my dog down Beauval Road. If I did and it crapped I would pick it up.


Will others follow my example?

Yet again we have an inflamatory thread with an implied group aspersion as its subject line.


I am not a dog owner. I do feel that continually singling out any group in society is not appropriate. Even if then limiting your wrath to "just the bad ones".


Just my thoughts.

I'm with Lane Lover (again). I read this because the title was 'Dog Owners' - which I am. I have read all the threads on dog sh*t and I have not noticed any less of it around. You are wasting your time - we ALL hate it, no-one thinks, 'ooh goody another pile of dog mess'....Clearly the lazy assholes aren't readers of this forum, or they are and they don't care. But people constantly moaning about it in threads such as this as opposed to getting in touch with whomever can suposedly make a difference, really is a bit tedious.
I know many responsible dog owners and accept my post was borne of anger BUT please do not say we should let it pass as it happens and can't be altered. I have said sorry for the generalisation but do not care who I annoy if I continue to complain about having to throw away decent shoes because a limited number of dog owners behave like arses? As long as there is one ED dog owner who refusesto clean up then people have the right to complain

To be fair to OP, lots of threads on the EDF are essentially not going to change anything at all ever, but they are still here. We rant about stuff we want to rant about, probably without expecting much to change. It's just the way we are, innit.


Lots of love,


Crap Clearing Dog Owner.

Agreed. AND if a bit of venting makes someone feel better about a genuine issue then what's the harm? No one's forced to read the thread...

    • 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
