sonic versus the oppresive fascist regime of capitalist consumerism

[Arriba]

As the dog crapped under a hedgerow, where people wouldn't even get to, miles from anywhere I hardly think it was a threat to health and hygiene. Perhaps we should go round picking up cow pats, badger shit and fox turds as well?

I live in the countryside arriba, my dog doesn't crap on pavements, or playgrounds, or football pitches. She was with a group on a ramble. No one else said anything, as it was patently obvious it wasn't a problem.

Anyway, countryside=shit. It's called nature mate.

as your dog makes a conscious effort to shit in the hedge, i take it back.

but your point about cow pats and wild animals shit is a daft one.
cows are on the farmers property meaning anyone entering should be aware of cow pats,the same as if people go in somebodys garden where a dog shits.and you cannot control wild animals.dogs have owners who should ensure their pets crap doesn't have an effect on any member of the public, on public land imo.
 maybe people on the ramble didn't agree with letting your dog shit without cleaning up, but bit their tongue?

Not that I would like a face full of either, but cow manure is not as unhealthy as dog shit, owing to the different diets of said animals

 Yeh....you can burn dried cow shit on fires...dog shit is just that dog shit.

No - not to use - Im not ashamed I shop in Primark - I just kind of "keep" them  - other girls will know what I mean - like Jane Norman bags always come in useful as they are those kind of stronger bags with string handles

I have a collection of Jane Norman bags i like the colours and they hold loads!
I save every asda bag under my sink, but am yet to remember to take any whilst doing a food shop... I dont know why cos when at my nans in Ireland i always carry a couple of small plastic bags in my handbag.

At HMV, I am required to ask whether people want a bag instead of simply giving them one. It amazes me the amount of people who want a bag even though they have 4, 5 or 6 of them in their hands already (a DVD or CD could quite easily fit in to).

My ex would be rude to people who tried to give her a bag. she would take bags with her without fail and put all stuff in those or in the big weird hessian things.

I caught her out once though when she bought a dress from a posh shop and blatently wanted everyone to know it. Just as we were leaving I pointed out that it could fit in her TopShop bag and she sulkily took the bag back to counter.

Im not sure I could put something from a posh shop in a hessian bag

I've had costumers refuse to take plain white plastic bags because they didn't want to look like they'd "bought something from a bloody market stall" ... I work in Durham and many are quite 'Lardydar' - but it still amazes me how funny some can get over the most trivial of things.

I only offer people bags if I think they need them. The worst though is kids, they all seem to want one for a packet of munchies and a kinder egg.

[Jamiesfuturewife]

mmmmmmm kinder egg

But if you carry them in your hand they melt... no one wants gammy chocolate

[ibelieveinmrreeves]

Lets face it, how long is that chocolate going to last, really? It won't have time to melt

[Simon Pieman]

Wow a lot of people care about carrier bags.

Like someone else said earlier, the only thing that grinds my gears is if it turns out to be the inevitable profit making exercise.

I think it ranks with the great hotel towel con.

"in order to save the environment we won't give you clean towels every day, unless you, O destroyer of your children's future, really insist on it"

(incidentally we'll save a shed load of laundry cost, but that's not important right now)

But if the hotel has a heated towel rail do you need a new one every day? Just put it on there to dry off (unless you've used it to wank into or wiped your arse on it or something).
