A noble sentiment and one to which I think we can all agree, as some people still think it’s OK to let their land sharks defecate at will and make no effort to clerar up said leavings.
But if that’s the case, why put the frakking sign 10 foot in the bloody air.

And this isn’t a one off, I had a stroll around the neighbourhood and identical signs have been placed on every 4th or 5th lamppost, all a similar distance from ground level. (I had to use the zoom to get the top image, in no way is the smaller print readable from the street)
Don’t ask me how long they’ve been there, because I don’t know. My attention was only drawn to this one as it happened to catch my eye when I was looking at a low flying Chinook.
I suppose the local council will say they are displayed correctly and it is probably better than on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying 'Beware of the Leopard'.
But what’s the bloody point other than pissing away more council tax money.
In fact most people won’t notice them as they are looking down trying no to trip on all the broken paving slabs.
I mean they can’t rely on passing twin rotor helicopters to draw peoples attention to the signage all the time.
Or maybe that’s the plan, maybe Bexley council are going to put in a bid for one of the useless Chinooks and have it circling the borough during the day drawing attention to high signage.
Or maybe the signs are just for Airedales, geddit? No, oh please yourselves
.
Extremely tall dogs with reading skills are a minority group which has been shamefully neglected. I for one am pleased to note Bexley's efforts to recognize and celebrate diversity and applaud this bold effort to extend inclusivity in the borough.
ReplyDeleteIncidentally, how did you determine the height of the notice? Wandering the streets with a builder's tape measure, taking unauthorized measurements of random street furniture, is the sort of activity which is likely to get your collar felt felt in today's Britain. Indefinite detention under the anti-terrorism legislation at the very least.
Actually I borrowed my brothers Hi-Vis jacket and just did it out in the open.
ReplyDeleteAnyone watching even Street Stasi would just think I was another one of them.
Although, as I was using a camera I did check there were no children within a mile radius as even a Hi-Vis jacket will not protect from The Paedo-Finder General.
