Passing Time Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 https://www.iomtoday.co.im/news/new-phone-hotline-set-up-to-report-dog-mess-in-isle-of-man-village-687046 So Garff commissioners will send somebody around to clean up dog crap just because the lazy arse dog owner can't be bothered. What could possibly go wrong? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bag rips when picking it up. transfer of poo from bag to hand when tying knot in bag dog poos on twigs, twigs end up in bag and cause bag to rip. poo is runnier than expected, meaning it just can’t realistically be picked up 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred the shred Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 I thought it as more of a snitch campaign \ photographic mutt competition rather than an offer to actually pick it up, still the creation of a new job is not to be sniffed at as I presume it will come with a pension, annual leave and Bank holidays off so it will be two new jobs for cover. Unless the Commissioners are volunteering to pick up themselves which is unlikely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless the Commissioners are volunteering to pick up themselves which is unlikely. It seems to be mainly about reporting: The local authority says the dedicated number was a suggestion from a resident and those calling need to provide the date, time, and location of the incident, and whether or not it’s a recurrent problem. [...] Where information is provided the commissioners will investigate reports and take action if it has clear evidence that identifies them. Those with information can call the hotline on 264808 or email the commissioners via admin@garff.im. but they do add: "If fouling is reported we will attend and remove the faeces as soon as possible." which suggests that they'll get their usual staff to sort it out as and when they're next available.

It's all a bit of a larf isn't it, doggy poo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Lamb Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 They've put in place a raft of by laws concerning dogs, but they have no real means of enforcement so they are appealing to curtain twitchers to do the enforcement for them. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred the shred Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 I can just see the staff volunteering to do that 😚 . So someone feels they have to report a man wearing a bobble hat with a blackish dog let it poo down the back lane near a church. Happy hunting 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
