Looks like you can take about 6" off it

Yep, will likely do that but going to use it this way for a bit just for laffs.

why are these and so many other gravel types so wide?

It's just a fashion thing isn't it. Flares to skinny jeans to baggies.

Don't worry. This too shall pass.

In the meantime I have sections of tubing lying around in the shop, which periodically come in handy TBF.

Motorway services that are 'off motorway'.

Just drove back from Yorkshire (shithole), reckon I lost about an hour fucking about with porrly located services.

Ferrybridge?

The amount of dogshit about.
I’m going to make signs

I you are taking your dog out for poo
Bring a bag or a knife and fork
Because if you don’t pick it up
I’m going to make you eat it.

My brother in law put a couple of small signs on cocktail sticks which said “human poo” into some dog shit on his road. The signs were removed but the poop remained.

Not much going on where he lives, presumably.

I put a sign on the tree outside our front gate after a spate of dog-shitting. Something along the lines of if you can’t clear your mess up you shouldn’t own a dog. Sign stayed up for a good few months dog shit stopped.

I have a can of chalk spray and any dog shit on the path is sprayed bright Orange. We have a don't let your dog shit here stencil but haven't deployed that (yet) as simply spraying the shit has reduced the frequency.

Maybe the council need to provide more bins to make it easier for people. Oh wait as the old saying goes you can lead a horse to water but people are lazy bastards

csb:

We asked for more bins. Was told the council had signed a very long contract with a waste Co that included a clause that prevented any more bins being added. We'd get more bins if any were surplus elsewhere in the authority. Madness.

Dump all your own shit on their doorstep with a "I know what you did last summer" note

Heh - I started working on a model to identify poop leavers from a video feed. I stopped when it was suggested that the ethics committee might give me a bit of a hard time.

Living in central London, it's not unusual to see crackheads shuffling at speed past our front gate. No bother, leave them to it.

But two of them owned a huge dog for a short while and they weren't very good at cleaning up after it. MissNumbers caught them one day, leaving yet another pile right outside our gate. So she went out and confronted them.

"We don't have a bag"

So she went inside, got them a foody caddy bag and stood and watched them clear it up.

No bother since then.

Ethics committee? This is a DIY animal watching project...

You know businesses are doing more than this kind of shit in all their shops and stuff already. This country is balls deep in CCTV and ANPR and wifi hotspot tracking.

Ethics committee? This is a DIY animal watching project...

I mean, I don't have any ethics committees to worry about these days.

Project automatic fave / dog / poop recognition machine is a go.

I'll have it feed directly into the neighbourhood whatsapp group, and projected onto the walls of the offenders' houses.

If the 'it' in your final paragraph refers to actual dog shit, that would be rather fun, especially if the projection method was a very large catapult.

One of the joys of LFGSS is that there's always someone who can supply the correct technical term.

Happy to oblige.

My cycling mates had a ditty to warn people of this problem:
From the arse
To the grass
On the tread
Then yer head.

Then fill your shed.

FTFY

bottom bracket standards, buying and partially fitting one only to find out there is a proprietary socket and the other 3 sockets you already own don't fit, that'll be another £55 please.
