WalkedUp

A. CLEAN NEIGHBOURHOODS AND ENVIRONMENT ACT 2005 This legislation supercedes the Dogs Fouling of Land Act 1996 within England and Wales. The Act enables local authorities and parish councils to deal with fouling by dogs, ban dogs from designated areas, require dogs to be kept on a lead and restrict the number of dogs that can be walked by one person. Note the Dogs Fouling of Land Act 1996 is still enforced by local authorities who chose not to adopt the Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Act 2005. B. DOG FOULING (SCOTLAND) 2003 This legislation applies to Scotland to replace Section 48 of the Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982. This Act makes it an offence to fail to clear up after a dog rather than simply allowing a dog to foul. It also allows local authorities and police constables to issue fixed penalty notices to persons suspected of committing the offence. C. CHANNEL ISLANDS Have a dog licensing system that requires all dogs to be licensed with their Local Parish. Please check with your Local Parish for further information and what is required by law on the identification tag. D. DANGEROUS DOGS ACT 1991 Introduced to control the breeding of designated dangerous dogs (section 1) or to penalise owners of dogs that are dangerously out of control or showing aggressive tendencies (all breeds) (Section 3). E. (ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION ACT 1992 SECTION 149-151) I. STRAY DOGS Which gives local authorities the power to seize and detain stray dogs. II. CONTROL OF DOGS ORDER 1992 Every dog while on a public highway or place of public resort must wear a collar with the name and address of the owner inscribed on it or a plate or badge attached to it. F. VEHICLE TRAVEL If a dog interferes with the driver of a vehicle whilst being carried within that vehicle, and this subsequently affects the way in which the vehicle is being driven, then an offence under the Road Traffic Act 1991 may be committed. Ref: Road Traffic Act 1991 (c40. sec 2A(4)). G. ANTI SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR, CRIME AND POLICING ACT 2014 The Anti Social Behaviour Crime and Disorder Act 2014 (ASB Act 2014) was effective from October 2014. It will affect all dog owners in different ways throughout the UK in cases wheredogs are considered to be causing anti social behaviour, or criminal acts. In particular, Public Spaces Protection Orders (PSPO’s) may affect your daily walks, and Community Protection Notices (PCN’s) may be issued if your dog becomes a nuisance. For further advice go to the www.defra.gov. uk website and look at the ASB Act 2014 practitioners guidelines, and also check with your local authority to see what PSPO’s are in place for your area. In Scotland , the Control of Dogs Scotland Act 2010 allows local Authorities to issue dog control notices requiring the owner of a dog which has been out of control, to bring and keep their dog under effective control. H. COMPULSORY MICROCHIPPING Microchipping has been compulsory in Northern Ireland since 2012, and will be compulsory in England, Scotland and Wales from 6th April 2016. Please refer to the defra website for the most up to date information. Owners are required to keep their contact details up to date on the appropriate microchip database and register the details of any new owner before they sell or give the dog away or face a fine. NOTE: microchipping will not remove the legal requirement for all dogs to also bear the correct identification details on the collar or tag. All hosting Clubs will be required to provide a suitable microchip scanner.

Starting out find remote public places. Public footpaths or quiet corners of parks. When staying in London I have trained my dogs in Hampstead Heath and many other busy London parks. But the dogs were well trained already which made it much easier. Funnily I got into an argument with an American couple who came up and harangued me for making my dogs “swim in the water chasing ducks” (i.e. a split blind and memory retrieve of a dummy ignoring any waterfowl). I don’t think they had met a northerner before, the poor mites I just don’t know what they were expecting. I can’t imagine it is too dissimilar to rural America in terms of etiquette. I’ll find the Kennel Club Good Citizen Guide as a starting point of legislation. When I have been in North America the rules regarding dogs in urban areas have been excessively restrictive to the point of encouraging bad ownership. UK is much more relaxed about complying with legislation. My dogs come to work with me in the city centre without a lead and no one bats an eyelid but they are not allowed to relive themselves unless commanded to do so. https://www.jemcaninecoaching.com/assets/Uploads/GCDS-Silver.pdf Pretty basic stuff

Good report

On my wish list but I would like in semi auto ideally. In rimfire I have .22lr and .17hmr already. I was going to put in a variation but the gun I want is no longer in production.

I’m guilty of this through laziness, as occasionally when I’m about to put on a disposable non-woven mask I will notice it has make up and lip stick on the inside of it. This shows it is A. it is previously worn and B. it belongs to someone who is not me. In truth I can never be fussed to fetch a new one if I’m near a shop or the school and it’s the only one in my pocket. I have no idea why I seem to collect them. I also have a make up brush and a lip balm in the centre console of my car, neither of which are my wife’s but pretty sure it’s a set up by the same forces that steal one out of each pair of socks I own.

My upbringing, training and career has been to follow the family profession, to become an aesthete. I see beauty in form and craftsmanship - I dislike decoration and ornamentation, be that on a gun or woman. To my eye a beautifully grained piece of wood cut and finished to show that is fantastic, it shows years of growth and development then craftsmanship to finish. A laser etched Beretta (such as mine) is ugly as it is applied rather than inherent. A game scene often ruins a gun for me. A jacket is beautiful because of its cut, material and craft - not its lurid pattern. Architecture ain’t paint. Overt decoration without purpose detracts rather than enhances beauty. What I see as beauty is no more valid or greater than yours. Their is no hierarchy to taste, just a celebration of difference.

I agree

I think you maths is wrong, twenteen squillion vaccines @ 3p each is £2.42 not £2.32. Maybe your blood sugar is low? 🤔

We all have different opinions of BREXIT but it is done. No point in further division. Let’s stay on topic.

🤣🤣🤣 It’s great that you can share toys

Misogyny is the contempt or ingrained hatred of women. Unfortunately it seems that many people conflate misogyny with sexism or the objectification of women. I can see no instance of misogyny here. Misogyny is very rare. Generally I believe that almost every mention of misogyny is misapplied, this is because it is a fashionable word and that those who crow loudest about any subject often have the least understanding of it.

I put my dogs into a sit if another dog approaches out of control in public. It almost always works to intimidate or confuse the other dog into leaving, as mine sit perfectly regimented with eyeballs fixed and muscles taught. Any dog that ignores this perimeter runs up barking at my children gets instant and very severe correction. There are no exceptions to this rule. The owners’ excuses of “he’s frightened of young children”, “he doesn’t like groups” or “he’s all bark” mean nothing to me. A lot of people get upset and are visibly shaken or occasionally angry but it is a useful lesson for them, I see it as training for the owner to help them understand acceptable behaviour from a dog as much as training for their dog not to threaten people. If your dog habitually runs up to other dogs / children / people / livestock in an uncontrolled manner leaping or barking at them in a public place there is only one solution but most people are too cowardly to accept it. When you buy a dog you need to understand that if you ruin it through negligence (lack of training, lack of socialisation) then you should be the one to have the guts to see it be destroyed, not pass the problem on by rehoming it or letting the problem fester until a good dog or child gets hurt.

An architect I employ got hers last week. She had an Irish grandmother. Apparently it was very easy to do as all her family paperwork was neatly filed. She received her passport within 4 weeks of applying and loves the passport picture they used. Apparently they have “put a sexy filter on it”....

Tattoos must be close to the majority by now, certainly they are very common.

🤣🤣🤣

I agree. I don’t know why, but I’m hard wired that way.

Targeted ad on this forum is brilliant 🤣 Clearly someone is casting aspersions about Ditchman’s Welding and / or medical credentials.

Agree... everyone is different, but we must be similar - my biggest turn offs are women with: 1. Any tattoo 2. Piercings beyond earlobes 3. Or smokes Some of my pals go wild for a heavily tattooed woman but even the smallest tat on a woman repulses me no matter what the rest of the package is like.

I use a 20lb bar for posts, great as a very tight hole.

I strongly dislike tattoos, but each to their own - if you enjoy it and it causes no harm then crack on. I wouldn’t worry about changing your mind, we all have scars from mistakes. Three of my employees are tattooed, not visible in work. Two of them are looking at removals, one of them is looking at getting more.

It may be a Section 278 obligation

That’s what my wife and I use, had one for 10 years. Two adults and two dogs for up to two weeks, new pitch each night. My mate came once on a trip as I told him it was a three man tent. He refused to get in as said there was no room next to a couple and dogs so slept in a bivvy bag outside. When we woke up next morning to a lovely frost I peered into his bag and he couldn’t speak or move, he was very blue but ok once he thawed out.
