Because its not safe to leave them outside. If you had a 'no dogs' sign you'd have grounds to complain. (and the dog owner would be another customer lost to the internet)

My gripe, new car is 4 weeks later than promised and not likely to get it for another 10 days. Made worse by the fact I'll have to more for first year VED because delivery has drifted into April. Also my company car went back, so without a big car for the moment.

A first world problem without a doubt, but annoying nonetheless!

I agree about leaving them outside and i do love dogs. But on such a horrible wet day would it have made more sense to leave the dog at home?

I did that to my big hairy dog. The little beggar managed to drop the latch on the lock and cost me £210 and a wasted day for a locksmith to get in.

Then the next day he decided to run off. Thanks to some community spirited locals we got him back. This was last week and I'm still not talking to him

This dog was an alsatian of some sort, very long haired though. Quite a gentle looking dog, so he was no bother. We get a lot of dogs in the shop and some owners think they're not allowed in but I go and speak to them and put them straight.
I had a corgi sized terrier for 15 years and I know the ups and downs of owning a dog. I'd like another but I've enough on my plate at the moment.

Lol. Sounds like my old dog. Couldn't turn your back on him for a moment.

No, not these days, centralisation is HMRCs and many other government departments mantra these days.

You are a rare beast ( although in your interest) of someone who wants to give the government some money, most want to avoid it if they can

Missus said this message popped up on car dash today, "Check Auto Gearbox". After a Google on Scenic auto gearbox warnings, all I can say is **** it.
There is always something going wrong. Really fed up always being skint.

Having spent the winter waiting for dry days to replace the alternator (no indoor work space) it's finally nice enough to enjoy riding but no. Looks like the oil pump has failed now...

Just be grateful you weren't in the petrol station with these females.....
