A big +1 to that!

Raemondo Oct 2024 10:01am, 18 Oct 2024 12,176 posts	0 Raemondo It's not my job to clean up your private flower beds. Cats aren't native to the UK or Northern Europe, so should be indoor pets anyway. It is my job to work in flower beds in various public parks, and I can't say cat shit has ever really been an issue there, but sneaky dog shit plagues my days.

My inability to ask them to reopen it as I died in a river of sweat. Also that said sweat triggered an itch-wave of my eczema meaning I spent the best part of my walk home and a few hours once home trying to remove my epidermis. Most attractive.
