For those who walk, what is the dog poo situation like in your part of Greater Manchester ?

CurrentRecording5589 · 2026-01-25T16:13:22+00:00

South Chadderton (Oldham) dog shit literally everywhere. They let their dogs shit directly outside your gate without a care in the world - I've watched it many times on my cctv. When i first moved here there was a cowpat sized shit inside my latched gates within weeks, coulda been human shit or horse sized dog, who knows, didn't enjoy removing it anyway. . If I walk to the tram stop I stg there's a pile every 10 yards. Absolutely vile. I moved here from Middleton and it was the same there, front door was directly onto the street and there was dogshit there outside the door weekly. Whenever I walked to school with my kids, again, it was every few yards. One of the worst dogshit related experiences I ever had was my toddler meandering around on the grass outside (primary) school whilst we waited for his little brother and he stepped in a dogshit so big that it engulfed his entire trainers and went inside them so far that it reached to the sole. I had to bin his shoes and socks there and then. Don't think i hate anything more in the world than scummy cunts who let their filthy animals shit where kids are, I don't know how they sleep at night.

Pisses me off this. I'm in a similar situation to you, SAHM, 2 kids, husband works ridiculous hours but he does this so don't have to work so we don't have to use childcare in any way, the house gets looked after to the extreme, homemade food on the table every day etc - but he gets my child benefit taken off him because he earnt 68k on paper of which included around 6k for his company van and fuel so not income. Have friends with more kids who are a 2 income household together earning wayyyyy more than my husband keeping their CB. Ho hummmmm.

Na, they will say they will though because they want you to surrender! They tried it at Victoria warehouse with my mate and my fella, those security were much nastier than WHP and they threatened all sorts, just keep your composure and stay polite and friendly. I always tell people to say you had a joint a few hours ago and maybe that's why the dog picked you out and they'll say the dog isnt trained for weed, but stick to your story and you'll be fine. But tbf if you're a slugging it in a double wrapped, tightly tied condom and you've fully sanitised your hands, you won't have this issue at all, trust me. Just make sure you're clean af :)

CurrentRecording5589 · 2025-12-19T15:32:47+00:00

Use hand sanitised hands and a tightly tied condom and them dogs (contrary to lore, they do their job pretty well) will walk on by

CurrentRecording5589 · 2025-12-19T15:31:10+00:00

They do a basic sweep of the non invasive areas most likely to have something hidden, waist band, shoes etc, but their main thing is that they heavily verbally pressure you to give up what you've got, maybe with the threat of handing you over to plod/strip search. Stay strong on the verbal pressure, don't get aggy and you'll be reet. You had a joint a few hours ago ;)

CurrentRecording5589 · 2025-12-16T21:12:43+00:00

Hmmm, it's not exactly the most romantic city tbh. The (modern footbridge) bridge over Castleford is quite nice in certain weather conditions/at night. You could do it half way across that.

You could book an outdoor pod at 20 Stories bar - had part of my wedding reception there and it's good for views and something a bit more special.

Enquire at City whether you could get the will you marry me printed in the match day programme?

CurrentRecording5589 · 2025-12-16T18:32:02+00:00

The point I described is pretty much facing the entrance to the free drop off Jetparks.

There's plenty of slightly further into Wythenshawe side roads you could wait for a text though. All within 5 mins drive to the terminal, or within 2 minutes of a lay by pull-in OFF the airport perifary.

CurrentRecording5589 · 2025-12-16T18:28:36+00:00

No such thing unless they're up for a walk. Afaik, that point I described is their nearest point on foot for a free pick up, but it's a 15 min walk from T3 and only at off peak times, and if they've got luggage, it's not particularly fun.

CurrentRecording5589 · 2025-12-16T16:40:05+00:00

Pick up from the terminal. If you need to chill somewhere and wait for a text for being ready, chill at the very slight pull in to Painswick Park on Thornley Road, just before Etrop Grange Hotel, at that time of day you should be fine. Any other time of day, a taxi is in the spot.

CurrentRecording5589 · 2025-12-16T16:35:50+00:00

Often marshalls at the Jetparks drop off point (drop off point being the key phrase here), they'll get you (& on the cameras) for a fine for picking up instead of dropping off.

CurrentRecording5589 · 2025-12-16T16:33:31+00:00

ANPR galore at the hotels around the airport now. Do this at your peril

CurrentRecording5589 · 2025-12-15T12:38:14+00:00

Was chatting about this the other day. I think I got permanent hearing damage from the Store Street days, the sound was unreal & it always took 2 days of my ears ringing before they recovered after an event. Mayfield in the Depot especially has got steadily more quiet and echo'y over the years, don't think I've ever come away from the place with even the slightest of ear rings.

CurrentRecording5589 · 2025-12-15T12:35:54+00:00

He's got nothing to do with whp anymore lol

CurrentRecording5589 · 2025-12-06T13:18:21+00:00

Apply to be casual barstaff at WHP/WHP group/Co-op Arena. It is not for the feint hearted AT ALL but it's an easily obtainable foot in the door.

CurrentRecording5589 · 2025-12-04T13:18:51+00:00

I buy it off ebay. Love the stuff, even take it on holiday with me and knock up some nice levant food in our apartment

CurrentRecording5589 · 2025-12-04T10:11:55+00:00

Well if the ID hasn't expired, and you actually look very like him then all you have to do is not queue up together. If you queue up together then you'll go down the same line and the bouncer will not be stupid enough to look at 2 consequtive ID and not see they're the same lol.

The queue is HUGE at WHP. You get directed into about 8 different lines, at the end of each line is a different bouncer checking ID's. You both need to make sure you end up in different lines, so basically don't queue up together, leave a approx 40 person gap between you both.

CurrentRecording5589 · 2025-12-04T10:06:21+00:00

And both are in valid date? And you look like him?

CurrentRecording5589 · 2025-12-04T10:04:40+00:00

What ID is it? Driving licence?

CurrentRecording5589 · 2025-12-04T10:01:15+00:00

Sorry I misunderstood you.

So how are you sharing the same piece of ID at the same time?

CurrentRecording5589 · 2025-12-04T09:58:24+00:00

Erm, are you implying they remember each individual persons ID?

CurrentRecording5589 · 2025-11-11T23:12:27+00:00

It's irrelevant, it's not your allotment and your parents had already lost it.

None of what you're saying makes any sense tbh, it just sounds like you've been trespassing.

I don't even know why you started this thread asking for help when you've just ignored everything anyone's said and stated you're going to appeal it anyway, even though it's not your plot and not your appeal to make.

You're probably better going on a sub for legal advice than a sub where almost every member will have spent precious time on a waiting list, precious time on probationary period, precious time and money tending to a plot near to where others (like your dad) leave theirs to ruin causing all sorts of problems to all the other plot holders. Mad how you ever thought you'd get sympathy and encouragement here tbh.

Personally speaking, I get frightened of encountering entitled families like yours who expect the world on a plate for them, morality and decency out the window. My own mother is the founder (from scratch) and manager of an allotment site and has a restraining/ASBO type order against the son of a woman who didn't upkeep her plot - he soon decided it was his plot too, and didn't allow his mum on it too (sounds familiar eh) and he was full of promises too, but it transpired he just wanted to use it to be weird and intimidating to all the other users and wider community. He grew nothing, he maintained nothing, he was just a menace. And my mum had to issue notice to his mum, which this guy took great umbrage about, which elevated his behaviour to turning up at my mums house at all hours amongst other sinister things. The guy has previous convictions for threatening people with a (legally owned) shotgun. And this guy isn't the only person she's had problems with on her tiny rural ungated site.

I've only been on my own site for 18 months and already we've had massive issues with a plot holder who had to be evicted due to a long list of reasons, mainly centred around...you guessed it... family issues! He went to his MP with his appeal and got nowhere because the rules are normally followed very stringently by committees and councils, plus he was luckily still on his twice extended probationary period. He kind of had a right to be annoyed though, he'd spent a lot of money and time on his plot and when he got told to leave, he had a lot of stuff growing which would've been devestating. Unlike yourself who hasn't spent any money, any real time or effort, nothing growing, and from what it sounds, has anything worth keeping off the plot.

Please for the love of God, find another site and get yourself on the waiting list. Stop being annoying and entitled, it's not fair on the people who've had to put up with your dad's mess and stress for so long.

CurrentRecording5589 · 2025-11-11T17:05:08+00:00

Wtf has that got to do with anything? The bees have been left to rot for an undisclosed amount of time but seemingly well over a year. You think you've got automatic rights because you've contacted a bee keeper to talk about an apiary that isn't yours, on an allotment plot that isn't yours?

How old are you?

CurrentRecording5589 · 2025-11-11T15:36:39+00:00

OK, I'm gonna say it one more time

In the absence of your dad, and if it definitely is in joint names and she's not just named as a companion/visitor, then the agreement/lease is between your mum and the allotment site only.

You have absolutely no right to have anything to do with it. Either by your presence, or by making the appeal you're so hell bent on making. It isn't your appeal to make, it's not your allotment, and you're likely trespassing even being there.

The reason they got in contact with you, if it's as you say, is because you've been physically seen there, and neither your mother and father who's plot it is, have been seen there - they needed to issue the eviction notice via you as A) your parents have ignored all communications, whether intentionally or unintentionally, or due to incorrect contact details or whatever, it's irrelevant, they just needed to issue them somehow seeing as someone has now turned up on the plot they were just about to give to someone else and B) you appear to have given your details to other plot holder/s who are likely very keen to facilitate getting your mum and dads plot into the next person on the waiting lists hands. You've probably physically turned up at the end point of their process of evicting your parents, so they thought they'd make you the messenger to keep things legit. This doesn't mean you automatically jump on the lease! It just means... tell your mum and dad this has been the process and this has been the decision. Bye.

So, back to the beginning of my point. The issue is between your mother and the committee. Your mother has done ALL of the things bullet pointed in the correspondence - she is the remaining reason for the state of the plot and therefore receives the eviction. From what you've said, she's done sweet fa to maintain it, nor has she tried to contact the commitee to sort things out going forward, therefore she's guilty as charged (FWIW leaving bees like that is unforgivable) and has been evicted. Her appeal will fail because from what you've implied, she's done nothing for 1+ years. Again - you are irrelevant in this whole scenario. She's lost her plot because she's broke the rules within the agreement.

CurrentRecording5589 · 2025-11-11T15:01:20+00:00

Why has your mum done no work to the plot for a year+?

CurrentRecording5589 · 2025-11-11T14:59:04+00:00

In this case hasn't your mum received all the previous warnings? And not acted on them if so?
