As a dog owner, I've started asking people why they let their dog do that. Although my puppy won't go anywhere but our garden ATM (I clean up as she goes along) I still carry two or more doggy bags. You can get a fifty pack from Poundland (don't ask how much!) and I got a free bag holder (plastic thingy) from Pedigree chum so no excuse for not picking up - you don't even have to feel the warmth thingy. Although I'm a fella, I've heard that it's men who are the worst offenders? My missus is always picking on blokes who do it when she takes dog out for a walk.

Coming onto it, I know we're a rarity but how about us "Plastic Boat Brigade"? I know you coffin dwellers hate us, but let's be honest, we're here to stay. How about a GRP area? I'd like to discuss problems with having a cruiser on the Canal and how BW feel about us etc. And before anyone starts, I have hired NBs in the past but really can't warrant buying one, hence the reason for owning a GRP cruiser Surely this forum is about canals rather than what you drive? It's like having a motoring forum but ignoring Lada drivers.

Dunno if these would fit the bill, but they're certainly cheap http://www.lidl.co.uk/gb/index.nsf/pages/c...ds_Life_Jacket_ Stu
