Hmmm
I was thinking of civilised behaviour, Andrew. Unless you're exaggerating for
effect, remembering that you're a journo and that hyperbole is your
stock-in-trade, that sort of behaviour is beyond the pale.
But I'd warrant that a child's poo was less likely to be toxic than a dog's.
And remember that the the people who ill-disciplined with their kids are just
as likely to be so with any animals that they might own.
So, it's not the kids or the dogs, it's the blimmin' owners . . .
