A tip for lazy dog walkers

[pophops]

I have noticed that an iPhone can come in handy for dog walkers of an idle disposition. Just walk your dog off the lead whist pretending to be deeply involved in texting/reading emails/whatever. Then, when your dog craps on the towpath (as it surely will), no fault can be attached to you because you didn't see it happen.

Mind how you go.

Class innit...

 

There is even an app for it.......

 

'Ignore your dog crapping'

some don't even need a iphone they just need a fag and walk in front thinking about the ironing or whatever, whilst her alsation crapped between mooring bollards at the lock, NICE!!!!

[Guest]

The 'ignore your dog crapping' app is just great - It can even pinpoint by the magic of GPS where your dog last took a dump, and guide you back later to clear up should you be slightly spooked by the adjacent geezer taking a unhealthy interest in your dogs toilet habits...worth £2.99 I would say.

The way to deal with that is to ask nicely and sympathetcally if they have used their last poo bag and to offer them one of mine (I always seem to have them in my pockets even when I have no dogs with me). I haven't had anyone refuse my offer and I take a bit of enjoyment seeing a dog owner picking up when they had no intention of doing it.

The worst ones though, are the ones that pick it up then just leave the bag they put it in on the floor.

They might as well not have cleared it up in the first place

It's been quiet though. The moaners need a platform.

Irony just passes some people by.

Class innit? We do it all the time, then the poo bag fairy comes along and takes it all away.

 

Is there a problem with this approach??????

You mean the irony of.

 

'I saw somebody let their dog take a dump while they were on the phone and they didn't clean it up?

 

Wow.......

[Darren72]

What about the folk who let their dogs run on the towpath, while they chug along on the cut. Very irresponsible, owt can happen to that dog.

glad its not my job but I have moved the odd bag from by the lock at Tedesley as I like to go there with the kids to watch the boats, its as close as I get at the moment to boating, I was there at the weekend and a chap let my kids have a look in his boat, don't think he is a member on here, hats off to him, he made 3 kids very happy.

Of course the Victorians had a use for it, in leather tanneries, and used to employ children to collect it.

 

Then some poor sod had to mix it to a paste with water, and knead it into the hides to soften them. Usually with their bare hands, and sometimes in large vats treading it in with bare feet.

 

It was considered the absolute lowest of the low grade jobs.

Sadly dog poo in bags hung on trees is a common issue. But it's not universal across the system thankfully...

There is a tree on the offside approaching top Hanwell adjacent to a road bridge which is (or was) like a Christmas tree.

 

Pretty obvious that someone walking along the road is throwing the bags over the high parapet thinking they are going in the cut but the tree gets in the way.

I just have an enduring appetite ( probably not a wise choice of words in this context ) for learning about the Industrial Revolution, and Victorian way of life.

 

You do pick up some weird and wonderful facts along the way !
