Interested to know the specific issue that was trying to be solved? However, don't get me started on cats. Yes they can be cute at times, but the reality is they are a complete ecological nightmare. If makes me weep to think of the millions, yes millions of birds they kill every year. Unlike other predator/prey situations they don't just take the sick, lame and lazy. They are the 'Genghis ...
@Margaret - Pity the opportunity of a lengthy track possession wasn't taken advantage of to re-paint it. Still, not a priority I suppose and not a great time of the year for painting. The problem is that now it has rust all over it, it will be quite a major procedure to rectify, e.g. could involve a lot of nasty blast cleaning to get the surfaces properly prepared.

Although an act of mankind, was possibly a pre-emptive action to prevent far worse - Ref USA landslide in the news this weekend, caused by heavy rain, not the sea. Credit to the 'orange army' having to fight on 'two fronts'.

Coincidentally I had to sort out someone elses doggy-dos deposited right infront of my little front (not Dawlish) gate yesterday.
Oh well, at least one upside of the storms was getting the beach totally clean. But seriously, I think tourists from urban areas are very used to dog issues. In G.London it is almost impossible now to find a park where dogs are not a thorough nuisance in all respects including being threatening. The best that can be hoped for is to find the 5% of a park that is defined as 'no dogs' fenced off ...
...and that's just another reason why I prefer to consider myself a 'floating voter' ... only way to have any leverage at all
@Lynne - yes, yes and no. i have a 'no junk mail' on my letter box - so cannot say for sure. I'll ask my neighbours.
