    Bill Oddie and Zoos.

    Don't think Deseo meant to be hurtful with his comments about the 'Oddie'. Not dissimilar to a tweet I just read from Bo Boelans. (aka Fatbirder) "Just read Bill Oddie's tweets... Maltese Hunters say he is mad! Bill, you may be mad as a rabbit, but they are selfish, fatherless and EVIL!"

    The idea of Zoos doesn't sit well with me, sorry. Have taken my grandchildren to a few and I'm not impressed. The residents of these zoo's look either very stressed or in the main bored out of their minds. Adding a few meerkats makes the kids go ah! but sadens me.

    Dogs on Nature Reserves

    The dog that attacked and bit my trousers was owned by a well dressed lady, who was for from penniless. Drove a very nice car. obviously stinking of dog. Yes! she was uncaring, ignorant and very rude but does that qualify her as a "loutess". By the way John. Is that word in the 'Oxford...

    Dogs on Nature Reserves

    Don't know about reading signs. In my experience when a dog owners is asked to please put their dog on a lead, most don't appear to understand a simple spoken request. Yet these same dog owners fully expect their dogs to understand the English language. Amazing...

    You shouldn't be smoking it's bad for you mate. I know what you mean though but despite that, I still have the greatest respect for our police officers and the work they have to undertake. Not to keen on some of their call centre staff at present. Unfortunately from experience I know that dog...

    Dogs on Nature Reserves

    Phoned Humberside Police and they couldn't make their minds up if it was Linc's Police or Humberside that spoke to the irresponsible lady dog owner, or if the offence was on the reserve or the beach. After a somewhat heated exchange. The person I was addressing then informed me that in fact the...

    Dogs on Nature Reserves. Thanks for that mate. You made me think which is a novelty. So I did some research for myself.. (See below) "Section 10(2) of the 1991 Act defines a public place as meaning any street, road or other place to which the public have, or are permitted to have access"...
