To top it all: Smoking will soon be banned in PARKS too. Let industry pollute the air and deprive some of us of what already has become a furtive pleasure - not that I do smoke. But used to and loved every single ringlet.<br /><br />Yes, dogs. Pooper scooper. The invention of all time. Like you I believe there are few things more vile than dog shit on the pavement. Here, in England, the law is - thank god - pretty militant about it. Not that'll stop your neighbour to take his dog out to the park at dawn.<br /><br />What it did stop though - some 12 years or so ago was my son getting a dog. He couldn't bear the thought of walking around with a "bag". He settled for two kittens instead. Both of which grew into cats using our garden as a deluxe litter box.<br /><br />Sorry about being expansive. And thanks for bringing that policy to my attention.
