Have we had women at petrol stations yet? Probably, almost certainly, definitely …. even if so, whatever, we're having them again!
Happily minding my own whilst observing man filling up. Whilst women waits sitting in the driving seat.
I'll return to this small yet important point in a moment. Man fills up, goes off to pay, returns and gets back in the passenger side.
Nothing untoward so far. A full 3 minutes then elapses before the car leaves. What was the women doing ffs?
She had nothing to do other than wait and then start the car. Was this deliberate, incompetent or perhaps forgetfulness.?
She only had to occupy her mind for a few moments yet appeared to have fallen into a trance....

Why is it not illegal for horse owners to stop and pick up their horses manure? It is about 10 times larger than dog sh!t and stinks just as much and they dump it in the middle of the lane and right outside our gate. I just don't get it!!

It’s a business opportunity. Around my way there’s a farmer who sells alpaca poo for 50p a bag.

I suspect there's a 'not' missing there. And it really doesn't smell much at all.

My dog is ‘cute’
I always clean up after him and use the bins provided for such waste especially as the area is used for sports pitches.
He is obedient and will stop when told so doesn’t chase bikes/people/other dogs - squirrels, stray footballs and cats are fair game
I can’t help him urinating up a lamppost.

When you come round my house remember you are a guest - he lives there!

Well, my take on this is that the majority of dog owners (certainly here) are considerate with the down unders and they do what is required with the doo doo. I have some sympathy because of these important doggy facts.

Dog diahorrea can be hereditary
It runs in their genes!

If dogs eats a can of alphabet soup.
Expect the biggest vowel movement ever.

Don’t blame dog owners for any poop found behind a wall.
It’s probably Humpty’s Dump.

That said, those owners that don’t do the doo doo as they should do, need a good doo-ing.

So, deal with the “Scooby Doo” and we can all get on :dance:

Yes I agree, horse pooh v dog poo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No contest.
I for one (and 3 billion dog owners too I suspect) are glad that dogs ain’t the size of horses. Imagine the carrier bags required as well as the shovel for that......then theres the problem of getting said bags to hang off lamp posts as trees clearly would fall over....now that would be a struggle although it would present an opportunity for the fold up ladder market.

Houses would also need a “human flap” in the back door,- just saying.

According to the Beeb:

“Lib Dem education spokeswoman Layla Moran tweeted "the fight must continue", adding: "It is outrageous that the Remain voice is missing from the ITV debate.”

Well, I for one am outraged at the outrageous use of the word ‘outrage’ by politicians who declare themselves outraged at every opportunity. Not only is such disingenuous conduct outrageous, but it could easily cause outrage throughout the land, and it risks yet further outrage when the electorate express their outrage at election time – innit……..

Dear Sirs,
I would like to complain about my fellow driver's inability to comprehend that lorries reversing into tight driveways require a lot of space to manouever their unwieldy steed. Closing up the said space will only hinder the operation and will add to the queuing time. I would also like to add that just because the driver has managed to squeeze into the target alleyway that he still may need to move forward again to adjust his angle of attack to complete his delivery location. Encroaching on this area results in prolonging wait time and only results in embarrassment for the impatient. Much to the ire of said HGV driver and fellow drivers waiting patiently behind.

Fkin numbnuts in a Honda Jazz (why always them!) this morning... Unbelievable.

Dear Sirs

I would like to make a complaint about lorry drivers making manouevers into tight driveways not having a banksman to assist and to communicate to the traffic when it is safe to proceed once the lorry is located in its delivery point. There were many of his colleagues available to assist but no one assigned to the task or requested to assist

Fkin numbnuts in a concrete truck this morning... nearly took out a Honda Jazz (not a bad thing!). Unbelievable

They won’t have passed the “how to reverse a lorry safely” course
Even if they did it may not be “how to reverse a ‘concrete’ lorrry” course
As everyone knows different types of lorry require different types of “how to reverse” courses.
This is a classic example of IDGAF. But if said person had taken on themselves to assist, the Health and Safety Police would be all over him, imagine if an accident occurred - whose fault would that be
