Horse manure on the road

I'll never lose either Freddie ! We could go on arguing until the cows come home. HL is a prat and as Digsy rightly says, isn't worth the finger strain !

I am more than happy to have a good robust argument with someone who knows what they are talking about, but when they just make idiotic remarks for the sake of it, then I won't bother responding.

I've said that before fredders! Leave well alone I say, HL isn't worth the finger strain.

I'm well Nikki, and you? I would leave the idiots to argue this one now and not bother responding if I were you. You'll never win (a bit like my attempts to get people to lay off the police).

Hi Freddie, how are you?

The argument continues !!

Oh dear...is this still going on? I'd have thought this has been covered from every conceivable direction by now!

Hellooo...........Mr Push Biker.

You pay road tax for your push bike do you?
If you live in the country there will be muck on the road, what do you expect? If you don't like it, move.........
Horse manure is biodegradable, and, unlike dog manure does not carry any transmittable diseases.
On the same subject, when you pass a horse do you give an audible warning? Please do. Horses startle, when they startle they leap sideways, when they leap sideways they may jump on you, upwards of half a tone of horse landing on you is not a pleasant experience.

Think on please, a little consideration, from all parties goes a long way. I am still not shovelling up my horse muck though.

But then.........I live 3500 miles away from you.

Good posting Empty Head !

We have just had 1200 tonnes of human sewage sludge dumped right next to the bridleway about 150 metres from our house and the village. Now THAT is cause for complaint, and is a definite health hazard from stapphyloccus aureus, tapeworm, e-coli etc. etc., not to mention the flies and terrible smell that will pervade the village at harvest when they spread the sludge on the fields !

Well, I'll repeat those words if you like. You are making a lot of fuss about nothing. Can't you find something serious to moan about that IS harmful? If you had said that a dog had dumped a pile 2 yards from your front doorstep, I would be more sympathetic.

Get a shovel, scoop it up and put it on your garden, like any sensible person, and pat yourself on the back for being environmentally friendly and recycling waste.

That' s easy for you to say 'empty head'; I'd like to hear you repeat those words when yout local horsey drops its filth less than 2 yards from your front doorstep. A lovely sight at 6.30 am.

horses have an ancient right of way over all other types of transport, suggest you scoop it up for your garden. Most riders do have liability insurance but if not, you would have to claim damages in a civil court. I have enjoyed riding bikes,motorbikes and horses but some people just like to whinge at anything and everything. Horse muck is just digested grass or hay and no diff from slippery leaves and other hazards like oil and nails etc you find on any road.

A simple thank you would have been nice !

Huh !!

Exactly xs, you would have to claim on your own insurance and lose your No Claims Bonus. This is why I believe it should be the law for EVERY rider to have 3rd party liability insurance before they ride out on their horse.

Don't shoot the messenger, I am just telling you as it is !!
