    Yes there is.  I never carry them, but then I don't have a dog either.  Sorry, couldn't resist. :D

    I think you should carry them @KT53 ... and then when you see someone with a ‘performing dog’ and they appear not to have a bag you can give them one .... and then run like hell!  ;)

    And I don't care what you say, I'm NOT using a washable string bag for picking up dog poo.

    There was a chap who walked his dog along our road, neatly bagged the s***e and deposited it under a tree outside my house. He  was mortally offended when I remonstrated with him (he and his dog didn't look dangerous) . 
    I felt like collecting his bags and poking them through his letter box.
    I never saw him again. He probably walks his dog elsewhere.

    In London. Keen but lazy.
  • At a previous house I lived in there was a step up onto the front path. A dog owner used to let her Mutt pee up the step. One day I caught them at it so to speak. She failed to see my point when I said if I came and Pi****d up your front step you would have me arrested. The arrogance of many dog owners about their animals rights never ceases to appal me.

    Biobag do a plant-starch based compostable bag. I've been using them for a while now and they're just as durable as the plastic ones.

    I found a copy of the book now thanks all. It's coming via snail mail from America though so I'll have to be patient. Hopefully it'll still be in English and not translated for American audiences.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Well done WE.   Hope it's good.   We too use biodegradeable poo bags and deposit them in special poo bins provided by thoughtful councils round here or take them home, depending on where we are.

    This discussion reminds me of a sign at the riding school I used to go to, which always made me chuckle.  It said: "Please pick up your droppings".  I suggested to the owner that, since the horses could neither read nor wield a shovel, he should insert "horse's" before "droppings".

    I've just ordered three fuchsias in two-litre pots from a nursery in Scotland, for£6 each plus delivery.  The RHS was offering the same plants, same size pots, for £15 each.  Can this be justified?

    I buy from a wholesale nursery who also supply Crocus. I buy them for around £3 + VAT they sell them for £10.
