Sir, – As a walker, there are two types of people I encounter a lot – one is the type that never cleans up after their dogs, and the other is a new breed (excuse the pun) that does clean up, probably because they are being watched, and then sneakily just throw the bag on the ground when they feel no one will spot them. Has anyone ever being fined for either disgusting behaviour? I have stopped arguing with them as it spoils my walk nearly as much as having to avoid their pets’ mess. – Yours, etc,
