We all complain about dog poo, but how about we also treat spitting in the street and dropping litter with the same amount of contempt. I find all such habits disgusting and I think it is the responsibility of each individual, whether they be a dog owner, a person carrying litter or someone with a gob full of saliva, to do the appropriate thing and stop being so bloody anti social and lazy!
Perhaps not in the immediate it isnt no, but in the long term it certainly is, and once a person has a bad habit they tend to stick to it. I often feel sick walking down the street seeing people spitting out chewing gum and flem filled saliva mouthfulls straight onto the street. Heaven forbid I ever fall over on the street, I will probably have to be put into isolation for a week with people spraying me with all sorts of things.

I spoke recently to CLarence and he had a very hang-dog expression on his face. He wishes to point out that the bald bloke is completely innocent and that he is entirely to blame. After all, if we can't be responsible for our own turds what can we be responsible for? He said he had been trying a new variety of dog-food and that he had a sudden urge before he knew what was happening. Won't happen again, he assures me.

Is there anybody who uses this forum who thinks being plain rude (I have been called: BALD, a C*** and a W@nker) is this an acceptable medium of communication ? This is delightful. I wish i had found the chatroom earlier. Tom ,perhaps you should do a little more indepth research before you ghost my autobiography working title 'nasty big man who drives a scary car, who smells' (should be out in all good bookshops by christmas). To everyone else on the site with manners , I apologise unreservedly about my failure to track my VERY VERY fast dog's every single move.

Hi Scott, sorry you caught the backlash on this one - the forum can reflect real life, so I'm sure if you hear guys being abusive in a pub, you'll read them here too! Sticks and stones and all that...!


Ideas get conflated in the heat of a moment. I once got accused of being homophobic, and since that was felt to be the case I was told I must be a racist too... ;-)


Mostly it's good fun, and there's a strong sense of community that a lot of local traders make use of! It's usually honest healthy feedback.


PS If you do a search on the Bishop you'll see me moaning about the amount of rubbish you used to heap on the pavement outside your back door - I'm glad you sorted it. I still hope that you'll find a way to recycle the huge quantity of cardboard packing cases you get through though!

A quick swizz and apart from Tom's comment which isn't very nice, the tone of this thread isn't too bad really. Someone even says your dog brings a touch of class to the green, which is nice.


I think sometimes people forget that this isn't some sort of club sitting by the swings chatting over a fag. What is posted stays there for good and completely in the public eye, so yes Scott, perhaps we all should remember that a little more often and civility costs nothing.


I worry sometimes that Mr Nesbitt will read this forum, he's been called far worse things Scott, believe you me and we really don't know him from Adam.

I'm sorry that people have resorted to name-calling, but by resorting to a tongue-in-cheek remark, with no sign of a genuine apology, you're not doing yourself any favours. Surely you can understand people's frustration at dog poo left in public spaces?

    • https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.          
    • Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068. 
    • Colin.    One for the old school.   Just saying.
