    You're making a mint Hosta.
    A quick search for "£1" under Hosta's name gives about 45 pages of results and I got bored counting after Hosta had made 40 virtual pounds.

    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    I scoop it up into a few sheets of loo paper - then flush it down the loo.

    I use the dog poo bags and put it in the Council bin.

    I don't think flushing it down the loo a good idea as it carries nasty bugs in it.

    A strange game. I think you will have to use doggy poo bags and then bin it, can't think what else can be done.

    It is illegal to flush any animal waste down the toilet

    Is that all? Surely LOTS more?

    I can't find out that this is true, @Nanny Beach @pr1mr0se though it's certainly not advisable to flush cat or dog poo down the loo.

    This is because the waste treatment systems aren't geared up to neutralising toxocara canis, and toxoplasmosis has now been found to have infected marine mammals including otters.  

    However, though Anglian Water and a few others say you shouldn't flush animal poo for this reason, it's not actually illegal.

    That means none of us would be able to use our toilets  :D
