Advantages?

In the course of my daily life, I often have occasion to enter the business premises and homes of other people.

I am increasingly frustrated by the lack of willingness of other people to speak up against the menace of dog fouling. Therefore, I always do my best to plaster my shoes in dog faeces before entering any of these premises.

By doing this, I force people to take notice of the dangers of dog fouling as well as letting people know just what type of stomach churning stench results from this anti-social behaviour. I am sure I have brought many to the cause through this activity.

Additionally, it causes people to respect me a bit more than before. They invariably treat me with circumspection on the next visit.

I must confess that when visiting a family home, I was once unable to find any dog faeces, so I used that of a cat. Similar result, point made!

I admire his style ...

If only there were more kids like Calvin, the world would be a better place.

A balanced view ...

Our inbox has been full of messages of support from around the world on our campaign to rid our streets of the elasticated red devil.

But it is only right that I include some views of those who see the rubber bands as their friends and positively encourage their existence.

Colin Boocock - Derby, UK writes, "SIR – I must protest at your move to ban postmen from dropping red rubber bands in the street. I find this a valuable free source of quality bands.
They are far better than those bought in stationers’ shops – strong, flexible and long-lasting. Long may they continue to be harvested."

*****

Stephen Appleby - Kendal, Cumbria, UK states, "SIR – I collect and use red rubber bands to bundle junk mail, which I repost to avoid a fine for overloading my wheelie bin. "

While Miss Primrose Peacock - Truro, Cornwall, UK pleads, "SIR – The red rubber bands are not just useful office supplies: they have also been included in medical aid kits to Albania.
Please, Royal Mail, ignore busybody suggestions made by The Dog Fouling & Red Rubber Band Blog Team."

We are nothing, if not balanced in our views & encourage other rubber band sympathisers to leave their comments.

Please remember to include your full name, address & postcode so we can send you our information leaflet - "Red Rubber Bands - Friend or Foe?"

It Gets Worse Every Day!

This matter is well reported on here: Postmen fined for dropping red rubber bands

I have attempted to post in the Blog. They need to know that they are not alone.

He's still at it ...

Is there no one that can stop this fiend ?

He is laughing at us all and there is nothing we can do about it. What good is the threat of a £50 fine for littering to Postman Pat ?

Red rubber bands lie strewn around our streets and still nothing is done about Postman Pat and his black & white, red rubber band littering cat!
