The stuff on your bin may be fox doo. Foxes go everywhere, I find it in my front garden and back on a regular basis. They like to mark their territory, especially at this time of year. Plus it can look very like dog doo.


I'm sure you are not really suggesting that a dog owner would deliberately smear excrement over your bin. Perhaps I have misinterpreted what you said?


Anyhow, there is a dog close to where I live that regularly deposits on my street. It is an entire male, light tan, older labrador. It is always walked off lead and the owner/s (a mother and son) never pick up. I am waiting for an opportunity to have a word. I would also add that of the many, many dog owners I know this is the one and only person I know who does this and who walks their dog offlead. Not surprisingly, just this one dog produces a lot of mess, some of which I have picked up myself.


If they ever read this forum perhaps they will be shamed into changing their ways.

Cassius,


You may have a point. In my experience there is always a bin handy somewhere in which to deposit the bag. I may have to carry the bag a little way but just view this as part of the responsibility of owning a dog. I've always assumed, I hope not incorrectly, that most people will not object to you putting the bag in bins parked out on the road, if you cannot find anything else. But, as I said, there is generally a council bin not too far from wherever you are.

I love irrational threads like this. I go away for a few months and the yummy brigade think they can come up with ridiculous threads like these and get away with it!


Firstly, if anyone needs to be put on a lead over on the rye, it is those annoying pastie faced little brats often 'mothered' by over-bearing yummies who have nothing better to do than exercise there offspring, often in groups clustered around that cafe, and act as though a tsunami is coming their way the minute a yappy little yorkie makes eye contact with one of the offspring!


Secondly, bloody middle-class 'joggers' who think they are in L.A wandering around in super-dry or gio-goi trackies really do get my back up. they often take a wide birth by a couple of hundred metres of anything that looks suspiciously working-class or threatening! Get a life!


Rant over.

my contribution in defence of dogs seems to have been deleted, along with the replies to it. hey-ho. to be frank I do not trust people who do not like animals. cats and dogs share the planet with us and should not be discriminated against because others have frankly ludicrous phobias and affectations.

Just to clarify, there were no messages deleted by me or anyone here.

Just a thought puzzled, but could you be confusing the threads?

    • 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
