    You were lucky being able to use dandelion sap for play. We had to eat the whole plant or starve! :hate-shocked:

    At the right time of year we were able to supplement our diet with chickweed that is high in vitamins and minerals.

    In those days we lived in a hole in the ground and were happy to do so.

            I like fat hen (before it goes to seed, and when it hasn't got blackfly). Nice to eat. Like all "weeds", does not seem to be badly affected by pests... Grr!

              I've seen a few of them on nights out around town. I never understood the L plates though.

                I've been sitting here with doors and windows open listening to a dog barking constantly for 3 hours now,
                The moronic little sod, (cant think of a better description for him ATM) and his stupid missus appear to have gone out for the evening and chucked the dog, a spaniel, outside, I'm guessing he makes a mess if left indoors.

                He's barking continuously and it often happens during the day.

                Why do they let stupid people own dogs, or any animal, they had a cat for a while but not seen that since moronic idiot got a dog during lockdown.

                Feel like going over there and smashing all his windows.:mad:

                  Have you got any equipment that would record the noise? Then get local council and animal welfare organisations involved.....

                  I think it would then turn into a proper feud, I already get the odd pieces of rubbish thrown over the fence mostly when he's drinking in the garden with his mates.
                  I tend to feel sorry for the dog, it deserves better.

                  It doesn't sound as though much has changed there. Anti-social types Rule OK :scratch:

                    I tend to think in general it's getting worse, I don't actually have a real problem with this bloke atm.
                    But I think reporting him could actually make that problem happen.

                    I tried to report one of those to the police non-emergency number. They seem to do everything possible to be frustrating, and seem to be a waste of time. Not sure what's an emergency and what isn't, either, or of the difference in the way each is treated.
