@Mark, walking a dog in the park is also a privilege, not a right.

Vee: walking a dead dog is a sign of madness.
Pointing out walking a dead dog is a privilege is also a bit
spazface

But if they try to tell me where I can walk my dog, then they can and will fuck off (not technically true, the dog's been dead for three years, but you get my point).

No offense, but that made me properly Lol!

I do see your point though. I'd still rather see people out using public spaces for exercise rather than cramming into air conditioned gyms.

Perhaps a fee should be charged for organisers of this sort of malarky, to go towards park upkeep?

@ VeeVee That depends on whether it's common land and what the common usage is. If it's, for example, the right to graze sheep and collect firewood, then I'll claim the dog is a sheep dog that also carries sticks.

note to self: must try harder at being a cunt

come to mine, dress up in lots of rapha and i can give you the education you are looking for

I've got one of those 'invisible dog' leads. I might take that out to walk through one of the classes tonight.

None taken. The grieving period is over.

The difference is that the people running it are making a lot of money. My issue isn't with people exercising in parks - that all good, it's with a company making sacks of cash and taking over large areas of public space that they're not paying for. If you want to run a festival, sell stuff, have an event, etc. for profit on, for example, Clapham Common, then you have to pay for the privilege. But they don't. That's all. If people get their jollies from being shouted at by someone who's pretending to be a soldier, then go for it. But if they try to tell me where I can walk my dog, then they can and will fuck off (not technically true, the dog's been dead for three years, but you get my point).

So on that basis people organising cyclosportives ought to avoid the public highway or pay for use of it?

Please don't get me on the subject of people who take their dogs into parks in order to crap all over them and don't clean up afterwards.

Grooming. Reported.

Just let dogs off leads (dead, invisible or otherwise) it will cause fun havoc with these mobs every time. I know from experience that when I'm doing my circuit training in the park dogs are properly up for joining in. Its all the rolling around on the floor panting and sprinting up and down. They jump all over me. Right pain in the arris but funny as fook.

According to Pisti, that only happens in your neck of the woods, so that's all fine by me.

There are a couple of people whose personal trainers work with them on Kew Green in the mornings.

They lay out mini bollards and step ladders for them to run to/through.

When my dad visits I walk his dog. Harry repeatedly tries to steal the plastic bollards thinking that they are for him to play with.

Dogs should be kept on leads in parks.

Combine with your report for grooming and we may be able to start a business...

More public fencing is what we need D'Artagnon...

That and public duels.

Local bye law over here, responsible owners adhere to this and clear up after themselves. They always did, the introduction of the law has made no difference.

It is, as with all things the minority who spoil it. My daughter is shit scared of dogs because some people don't follow the rules. My garden is full of poo as some people fuck off for the day and leave their dogs to roam the streets and my garden as they please.

The dog warden has been phoned twice this morning as there are three dogs wandering around the estate. Two of the owners are sat in their houses, no warden has yet appeared.

If its in my garden and uninvited it will be treated as vermin.

that isn't the same thing, clive. if they needed to block the road and not let you past, then it would apply.

a public right of way is exactly that.

i agree with about the barker's eggs, though.

Suitably so.

The voice of reason. Who'd have thought?
