  As I said previously years ago nobody bothered to pick the stuff up. You could skid around all day on it, down the High St, in the park etc etc. Looking back it was horrendous. If your large mutt did a huge load, as described so appetisingly by Jan there, and did it right outside Boots you never picked it up. You sauntered off whistling and waited for the rains to wash it all away. It wasnt nice.
  
  The pattern of public opinion has shifted since then thankfully..and now dog owners are under pressure from fellow citizens to pick the stuff up. But what do you do with it when you pick it up. Bring it home, put it in the nearby bin. But it represents a new problem that didnt exist when people didnt have to pick it up at all. If you are visiting a friends house after your dogwalk you dont want to go in there carrying bags of dogsh*t !!
  
  But why was there a shift in public opinion. When and why did people start to pick it up in lil bags. I dont remember exactly how it came about. But perhaps this time it was political correctness working for some good for a change. Its no longer politically correct to leave dogsh*t on the pavement.
