5:52pm on page 9 of thread linked below you claim to be a pensioner

Overhill Road has been particularly bad recently. I'm wondering about spraying said mess in fluorescent paint but I'll probably get done for graffiti-ing! I've also found that foxes tend to be quite particular and comical about where they crap - I've seen the mess on discarded crisp packets, road work signs, on a leaf...! The current stencils have lost all impact and probably never stopped people who always have no intention of clearing up after their dogs.

Hello - yes I started a thread a couple of months back about Melbourne Grove. The local community warden got in touch and caught and fined the dog owner I think was responsible for a lot of the problem. My end of the street has been largely free ever since but I think the owner has simply varied his route as I spotted a notice in the window of a house further along Melbourne Grove about dog fouling.


I was peering at the notice when the householder came out and spoke to me and the dog owner they thought was responsible sounded very like 'my' dog owner and the sudden increase in fouling coincided with the chap getting fined near my house. I think it's very hard to change entrenched behaviour even when someone is fined.

The entrenched behaviour issue is a component of many types of anti-social behaviour. Perhaps other penalties should be considered for proven, unreformed serial offenders. The problem with this is policing and catching people doing wrong, and then it also becomes about best use of resources.


The poo is a pain, we all hate it, but I just wanted to make the point again that just one bloody-minded and irresponsible individual can create the illusion that an area has an epidemic of bad dog owners.

Hi,

Latest update on this subject - this time in Camberwell Old Cemetery this morning.

Walking along Wood Vale, I saw a young women standing on the path and letting a medium-sized dog loose for a run around the graves. She obviously did'nt want to get her feet wet on the grass. After a while, sure enough, the dog 'did it's business' next to one of the graves, chased some birds around, then went back to it's owner, who put it on the lead and went off home. Absolutely true; I was too far away to go over and have word with her, but it would have been too threatening for her, probably.

How disrespectful can you get! I expect that someone will tread in it when they visit their relatives grave this Christmas!

Season Greetings to all.

    • One more while I'm here, although more of the way a word is used, and whilst possibly pedantic it really does annoy me!! "Dilemma" Constantly used to describe any tricky decision, but the definition is a decision with only two options, both of which will have an equally bad outcome.  So a choice of whether to have cake, ice cream or chocolate is NOT A DILEMMA!!! See also "Decimate", which means to reduce by 10%, not just general widespread destruction... 😖
    • So sorry to hear this, makes me so angry that some scumbag thinks they can just take someone's transport, freedom, enjoyment away, and there's so little chance of them being caught or punished adequately.  If you haven't already, register it on BikeRegister and change the status to stolen, hopefully if any responsible person considers buying it then they'll check there first.  Report it to the Police - very little chance they're able to do anything, but it's important for the stats, which may eventually provoke action by the gov? Set up search alerts on Gumtree, eBay & Facebook Marketplace, but try to be as generic as possible - often they are listed as just "road bike" rather than the exact model.  I've also printed out flyers and dropped off at local bike shops in case the bike is brought in for repairs, but not sure how worthwhile that was. Hope this helps...
    • John has done a fantastic job plastering our bedroom. He boarded the ceiling & window bay then plastered both and the two remaining walls.  He always turns up on time and gets straight down to work, and leaves the room clean & tidy after. I thoroughly recommend John for any plastering work.
    • hard agree with fishy there   (oh god now someone is going to say "hard agree" is an annoying phrase)
