    the point of the post was the behaviour of the warden not the lady being hounded, but it is general I suppose.

    nope the metaphor can still persist

    but you know do any of us get joy out of watching a dog take a turd?

    I have nothing against dogs but for some owners the great outdoors is just a loo

    "Shaking like a tulipting dog" is one of my favorite catchphrases. Does that have to go too?

    What do you do? I stood there and struck a pose with my poop bag in hand to give the impression that I was going to dive in and scoop it up once he'd finished. But it still wasn't enough to stop some miserablist woman from coming over and calling me an inconsiderate bitch blah blah... My kids might go blind blah blah... Etc.

    I'm sure her view was that dogs should be banned from public places. Hopefully not too many people share this view, though I'm sure the Labour party can socially engineer enough people into thinking this way and then just ban dogs from public places on the grounds of public health.

    Things are so much better than they used to be.

    Who ever lived in a neighbourhood that didn't have a dog sh!t alley back in the day?

    Got pretty good on my skateboard though slaloming between all the dog turds lol.

    so?

    I don't like people parking like idiots and support traffic wardens but if they try to fine someone incorrectly and appear to be completely incompetent then I'm likely to be against that.

    started a topic Plastic Plod - imitation 50

    Plastic Plod - imitation 50

    Show me the poo!: Tower Hamlets park official calls for police back-up over 'non-compliance of female' over mystery dog foul - Crime - News - London Evening Standard

    A park attendant called for police “back-up” after threatening a woman for arrest over an elusive dog foul.

    Amber Langtry, 35, was walking her dog with a friend on New Year's Day when a lone Tower Hamlets Enforcement Officer accused her of not clearing up after her pet.

    When she explained to the officer that he'd made a mistake and asked to see the offending evidence, he refused to show her, then pointed to a spot in the opposite direction to where Miss Langtry's dog had been. He then proceeded to issue her with a ticket and called the police.

    well its 'jobsworth joe'
