Doc on tour, France, Spain, Morroco.

they just let them shit and piss everywhere and do not clean it up
I agree some do that, but it's getting better in my eyes. At least where I live (which is very close to Cambrils, by the way) most dog owners pick up and even carry a bottle to rinse the pee (maybe because we are a very small town, I don't know).
In the eighties it was far worse, trust me.
I see that you are closer to Vilafortuny than Cambrils.

I've always picked it up.....but if I'm in woodland or somewhere with waste ground and long grass I tend not to.
Same here.

When I take daughters dog for a walk I still pick up in woodland.
It depends on the circumstances, if it's well into the woodland away from where anyone will go and is often a b*gger to get to then we leave it - it will breakdown quickly and not cause any damage whereas if it's picked up (in biodegradable bags) and put in the waste it'll end up in landfill - so natural breakdown or landfill? I prefer the former.
 
I always pick it up and its a pain when they both go at the same time which they tend to do but as they are normally off lean they are at opposite end of the field i must look a right idiot walking round and round with me head down look for a pile of poo, and like you Tam if im in woods or where no one will walk i flick it fiuther in the woods and mine are on raw meat so no additives to keep it fresh for weeks
 
Never cold hands in winter though. With practice I can get 4 in a bag nowadays lol. Cuts down on waste plastic. It's the ones that ressemble gravy I have problems with , there's just no way to clear that up sufficiently.. those are the embarrassing ones
You're gonna need a power washer for that. Not sure if you can get a portable one though 😂
 
That's cause they all leak lol ,the cills are usually the first to go
Yep had new sills fitted I think that cost more than I paid for the car this was in the early 70's.

No, I'm a long way from there. Here it is at crisis point and I'm hoping the council will take it seriously now. There is a law in place, but it seems nobody cares.
 
Seems we like to talk shit on this forum.... 😂

I was about to have supper before I read this thread. I think I will not bother now.

Jim can you please have this subject banned at meal times?

What was that black stuff we used to paint on the cills to try and stop rust and also hold the rusty bits together?
Underseal?

I was walking down Las Ramblas in Barcelona with one of mine, he decided to 'do 1' right there and then. The people around me found it quite amusing, had no dog bags as I had left my brain cell in bed, had to go through a bin and find an old pizza cardboard plate. I won't go into the operation of how I scooped it up, I will just leave a picture of the accused so you can imagine the size :)

Well no quite as she's no south...she's gotta drive straight across though which is miles. Madness . But she's always had a strange way of travelling lol.

Cambrils is different from my memory of it , I thought I'd got it mixed up with somewhere else at first but I'm parked in the next street from the one I was last time I was here ....which was back in 2019 , it seems a bit more neglected and dare I say it quite dirty . Which is a shame. Popular with motorhomes though as there's a lot of them here

Feel sorry for Spanish dogs , every Spaniard I see walking their dogs they pay not a blind bit of attention to them , their noses are either in there phones or they're talking loudly in to them while walking the dog. Poor dog must think what's the point . View attachment 982123

Yes, look at the Armenian Genocide of the First World War and the Russian and Turkish troops freezing to death. It can be arctic weather conditions in Turkey
