Aside the decency, there's almost certainly bye-laws with a £1000 fine.
As a dog owner - I have to say nothing annoys me more than other owners who can't be bothered to pick up after their dogs.
No one ever seems to get caught or fined from what I can see. You'd think the councils would love it as a form of revenue generation.
And dog owners who talk to their dogs like they are humans! And dog owners who allow their dogs to run towards you and leap up on to you, saying "Oh he's just being friendly, he doesn't bite."
I do like dogs, we had them when I was growing up but I prefer cats these days.

😆 oh, er 😳 that's me then
I saw this big butch guy walking a poodle which was wearing a pink coat thing - it was hilarious but I wasn't brave enough to laugh too loud!!!
Good job my "big mouthed" eldest wasn't with me....
How comes only the English now have to pay prescription charges? How come the Scots university education is free?
It feels like England is paying for others freebies - Not such a United Kingdom
What really annoys me about the separation of Scotland is that the Scottish MPs can vote in the English parliament, but not the other way around. I seem to remember a furore a few years back about a Scottish MP voting one way in England, but that wasn't the way he had voted in Scotland 👿
Right then let me share an interesting conversation with my "current" energy suppliers.
Just to set the scene they seriously undercharged us last year and so we were £700 in debit - I agreed to the direct debit being increased to pay it off. I have now paid it off and called them to discuss reduce the direct debit to which they REFUSED!!!
I had an argument with three people eventually threatening to leave before they reduced it.
And at the end of the conversation I got the obligatory "Is there anything else I can help you with today?"
I've had a similar thing and been paying off a large debit balance which should be paid back at the end of March. Was also going to ring to find out what new payments will be - sounds as if that's going to be an interesting conversation! Watch this space!
I switched energy providers last year. The new provider - OVO Energy - calculated my bill to be the same as my old provider, but that was before the old provider was about to have a large price hike. However, through the year, I have steadily been building up a sizeable credit balance (which the pay interest on at a decent rate) - they did have a price hike late last year on one of the fuels, so I fixed the price for a year. Even at this newer price, the credit balance is still increasing - I asked for a partial refund a couple of months ago, which was very quickly processed.
Another plus is that you can add your own reading, which I do every month, when I receive the email statement. There isn't a single month - even through the coldest weather - where my bill has been higher than the payment I'm making, which basically means that they are charging significantly less (I'd estimate about 30% less) than my previous provider.
I'd highly recommend them, and I think they come up top on Money Savings Experts website.
Sounds like that is worth a look - thanks Actd
