Pompey Paul Apr 2015 4:03pm, 16 Apr 2015 3,979 posts	Quote Pin Pompey Paul I heard that dog walkers that do an out and back walk hang it on the tree to save carrying it around and then collect it on the way back. I just wonder how many 'forget' to collect it.

paul the builder Apr 2015 8:55pm, 17 Apr 2015 4,927 posts	Quote Pin paul the builder It's not the weight that makes dropping it in order to collect it on the way back a good idea. It's because it's a bag of dog shit. We often do this (although placing it to the side of the path, or on a prominent rock or tree stump). But we don't forget to collect it on the way back.

Surrey Phil Apr 2015 6:40pm, 23 Apr 2015 840 posts	Quote Pin Surrey Phil I think you're right that they're young mothers - more interested in their friend on the phone than their child which should always take priority. A very young couple boarded my bus recently, pushed their child into the buggy/wheelchair part and sat down. The only time they spoke to the child was to shout at him/her for getting upset. >:( My daughter has a disability and uses a forward-facing pushchair. It doesn't stop me talking to her or coming down alongside her. Good point z1000jeff!
Red Squirrel Apr 2015 7:02pm, 23 Apr 2015 18,580 posts	Quote Pin Red Squirrel People who overtake me in their cars when I'm on my bicycle with my hand out indicating right. People who overtake me in their cars when I'm turning left on a roundabout on my bike and immediately I've got to get around a parked car and worry where the overtaker is.
