matty40s Posted October 14, 2017 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 Not only can dogs in Rugby now read about 10 signs telling them they aren't allowed to poo, There is also one central pillar telling them they can and where their owners can collect it from.

cuthound Posted October 14, 2017 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 Does the top sign in both photos mean that they are not allowed to be tied to bollards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lily Rose Posted October 14, 2017 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 I came past those signs, heading north, today. Previous passings have had me fuming so much at the no mooring signs that I failed to notice the no pooing signs for dogs. Today I did notice one of them so perhaps I´ve calmed down a bit.

Murflynn Posted October 14, 2017 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 pity they don't include humans in the pooing prohibition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roland elsdon Posted October 14, 2017 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 That used to be moorings but so shallow you could hardly get on. I think the reason for no mooring is due to the integrity or otherwise of the bank. It runs above the retail park and if the canal breached there ( there are stop plank grooves in the bridges) they would have to have a flood sale ... Besides I wouldn't moor overnight in brownsover. I used to work for the police in rugby in the 1990s..in modern political speech..brownsover had the highest 'client' base in those days , I used to boat through incognito at night wearing dark glasses and a false beard in case the locals recognised me.

matty40s Posted October 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 Could do with an amalgamated sign at the Braunston locks, 3 separate bollards had piles of fresh dog shit around them this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that was only nearly 30 years ago, I don't expect things change much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I´ve got no particular desire to moor there overnight, although it would be useful as an option of last resort late in the day, but I do sometimes want to stop for an hour or two to stock up at Tesco. Quite often that is impossible with all the visitor moorings occupied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Megson Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 I think the signs may be aimed at the dog owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
