Dogs

There's a new sign popped up outside the college which says "No Dogs". There is a terrific temptation for me to make some inappropriate jokes about entry conditions, and the knowledge that my wife keeps an eye on this site is what's keeping me on the correct side of decency.

But there's more news about Doggies - and I wouldn't be surprised if we see Barlow moaning about this one next week.

Cheshire East has today announced a new policy for stray dogs.

£80 if your dog gets picked up, and you have to collect him from a Kennel. If he's chipped or has a tag and then you'll only pay £40 first time around and I think the warden will drop him back home to you.

I don't disagree with this. It costs money to have dog wardens, and there needs to be an incentive to not lose your dog. The first offence thing is a nice idea - especially as I know from personal experience that dogs have a habit of escaping from friends gardens when they're staying with them. (Remember that, Chris?)

Anyway...the killer here is that your dog will get taken to a Kennel.......(wait for it)......in Stoke.

As in on Trent. Stoke on Trent. In Staffordshire. Not Cheshire.

It's a two hour round trip for people in Macc, Poynton, Knutsford, Wilmslow. What on earth were we thinking?
