That's definitely good enough for me, Doug, but you are in a minority. Come and have a look round Bude some time. The locals are terrible enough, often ignoring the laws about dogs on beaches and definitely ignoring the rules about dogs on leads. The walkways around the canal and nature reserve are plastered with trodden and untrodden dogshit. There's a ludicrous rule that allows dogs on Summerleaze beach in summer as long as they're on leads. So dogs don't shit when on leads, huh? Well never mind because most people take no notice of the rule anyway. Not a day goes by on that beach that doesn't have several dogs chasing around and yapping uncontrollably and interminably with their owners either ignoring it, treating it as fun or even actively encouraging it. If I go for a walk at low tide I can guarantee that I'll be hassled by at least one out-of-control dog hurtling towards me from a hundred yards away, "just being friendly, he won't hurt you." No dog should be out in a public place unless it's on a short lead. Very few owners can make their dogs walk to heel. And all dogs should be licenced. A couple of hundred pounds a year should cover it. I don't see why I should foot the bill for clearing up the mess and emptying dogshit bins.

Then there's caravans and motor "homes"...
