Yesterday I discovered a dog had left a present on top of one of them. The physical manoeuvre necessary to achieve this would have been almost as impressive as the mental manoeuvre which the accompanying human used to justify leaving it there. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19114#post-291045 Wed, 12 Sep 2018 22:17:31 +0000 chdot 291045@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="https://twitter.com/anniemai8/status/1038439938386272256" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/anniemai8/status/1038439938386272256</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19114#post-291001 Wed, 12 Sep 2018 13:21:23 +0000 PS 291001@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Near the start of a beach walk in Fife recently I noticed a few filled bags dumped by the side of the path. Same old story, I thought. However, on return to the same spot 2 hours later, the bags had gone. May be the first time ever that I've seen that actually happen. </p> <p>Closer to home, I've been walking through the New Town a lot this year and have noticed a lot more dog eggs than I would normally expect, the quiet route cut-through of Scotland Street Lane being a particular hot spot. May just be 3 or 4 sociopathic owners involved, but I've been unpleasantly surprised by this. A few folk too posh to pick? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19114#post-290999 Wed, 12 Sep 2018 13:06:39 +0000 ejstubbs 290999@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>See that sort of thing all the time. If it's in an area without any 'infrastructure' like handrails then they just hang it on the nearest tree. Utterly bizarre as well as disgusting. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19114#post-290998 Wed, 12 Sep 2018 13:04:21 +0000 wingpig 290998@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I wonder what tourist-carriage drivers from Bruges make of the UK when they visit, when even our police horses can defecate on cobbles without having to wear an enormous leather nappy?</p> <p><blockquote><em>"...but I do find this format intriguing..."</em></blockquote></p> <p>Generally, biological hazard implementation crew members (human) are all essentially sociopathic, with two sub-groups who truly do not care or even recognise the risk they create and one (the simperers) who are in denial and will simperingly claim that they're going to pick it up and bin it on their way back. Oh, they must have forgotten! Mnhmhmm! Silly me! Aren't I a silly, Bonzo! Mhmhmmnnmn! Others would claim that their duty is done by removing the waste from where it might be trodden upon, leaving the group of whom <em>I'd</em> be interested to learn the through processes, who eschew the bag and just leave dogturds on the ground, ranging from mild (a discreet corner somewhere where few feet might tread) to severe (right in the middle of a narrow section of path).</p> <p>Always keep a spare Muc-Off or similar powerful and capacious hand-pumped liquid-skooshing device handy for cleaning between the treads of trainers without sacrificing any brushes. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19114#post-290995 Wed, 12 Sep 2018 12:29:48 +0000 I were right about that saddle 290995@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Yesterday I found a plastic bag of dog filth hung from a handrail in a park.</p> <p>I'd like to have a chat with anyone physically capable of doing that, just to see what's in their mind.
