This is my first input on this thread. Why do people think it is so unreasonable for people to want to be in an area without kids?


I hope to be a parent in the not too distant future, and when that day comes I'm sure I will be loking for a place where I can take mini Keef and have a pint. However, I will also be hoping that there are places I can get away from the sound of kids on the odd occasion I get a break.


I do think no children areas is an idea which just wouldn't work. However, I can't stand the view that someone who wants to keep a few child free places for grown ups to have a beer in peace, is a child hating git.

This is such a ridiculously over repeated and unneccessarily fractious thread topic.


In short it's like telly. If you don't like reality tv, don't watch it when it's on. If you're strangely in the mood for repeats of Dempsey and Makepeace then slap on a bit of uk gold for half an hour.


We all know what places and what times are prone to lots of bugaboos, and which ones aren't. Something for everyone in this fair townlet and environs of ours.

Reasonable and moderate policies in my view and already on the Manifesto of my newly-formed King Herod Childcare Foundation (motto: Infanticide - A Cure For The World's Ills) .............JUST JOKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • Whilst I completely agree with the first part of your post, I think it's a terrible waste of council workers' time (and our council tax money) to be coming out to clear up individual instances of dog crap. I don't know what the answer is. I don't know why there don't seem to be dog crap bins any more, but even if there were I doubt if these dog owners would use them if they aren't picking up the crap in the first place. I can't remember why dog licences were scrapped? If memory serves they used to be seven and six in old money. Maybe it wasn't cost effective to run the system, but maybe it would be if they cost a lot more. I think dog training should be mandatory as well. I think a lot of people acquired dogs during Covid who maybe hadn't had one before, as the number of dogs around ED seemed to greatly increase around then. On the other hand, I do think most dog owners train their dogs and pick up after them. Unfortunately it's those who don't who we notice.
    • Why did you feel the need to post that? Have you actually read the rest of the thread?
    • He lived in my road, so I bumped into him quite often, but I knew him as Mick, not Mike. We originally met at the opening of The Actress. Crikey, how long ago that seems now. He had a fox in his window 🤣 Not a real one, obviously. I only found out that he had died because I hadn't seen him around for a while,  so I mentioned it  on our road WhatsApp group, and someone on there told me. He had been ill for some time, but he was just in the middle of what must have been extremely expensive private  dental treatment (a lot of implants) so I assume his death was sadly unexpected.
