Re: Omg ott! DNA for dogs
I thought this had been gone through? Saying something, and being misunderstood and overheard is not the same as speaking to the press!
As for the night vision goggles, that one was actually true wasnt it? My cousin works for a council down south and she says their wardens use them as well. Been pretty standard for ages, she says otherwise the streets would get covered overnight. I think its q sensible. Whereas the DNA stuff is obviously pie in the sky.

No, Hyndburn isn't any getting night-vision goggled commandos, seeking out doggy plops laid under the cover of darkness.
Apparently this story also originated when a dog-warden spoke to a reporter 'off-the-cuff'.
Might be an idea if all these blabber mouths wore tank-tops.
Then they'd have no cuffs to blab from.

Just shows the mentality of dog owners dahn sarf - going out under cover of darkness to carpet the area with their doggies' doings.

Its just the same up north, its always worse during winter when its dark and some owners just kick the dog out for a bit because they dont want to walk it in the cold and rain

It was the picture conjured up by the quote that I was wondering about :
Been pretty standard for ages, she says otherwise the streets would get covered overnight.
How many dogs would you need to "cover the streets overnight" - or are they especially large and/or with a tendency to looseness in their leavings?
Sorry, I won't go any further with this, it's beginning to put me off my lunch...

Im pretty sure it was the DNA story that was 'off the cuff'
The night vision goggles story in the paper had a picture of Hyndburn's dog warden wearing the said goggles - so I imagine it's true!
Ken Moss explained this earlier in the thread.

No, we're definitely not having these goggles in Hyndburn, and this information came from the horse's mouth, so to speak.
When the Deputy Leader of H.B.C. came and knocked on my door.
Primarily she'd come to confirm that the benches removed from outside of the Market Hall, had been damaged beyond repair, when they were being dismantled, but I was a very naughty boy, because apparently I'd been misinformed about the gypsies being told to take them away.
It was on this same occasion that I was also informed that the dog wardens in Hyndburn won't be issued with night-vision, ploppy seeking goggles.
The 'story' came about when a journalist spoke to a dog warden, and he shot from the hip, with some of these ever so popular, off-the-cuff blabberings.
I believe, for speaking to the press unofficially, he'd landed himself in some dolloping doggy doo-doo.

Re: Omg ott! DNA for dogs
Hi all, I'm the Lancashire Telegraph's Hyndburn reporter Emma Cruces
Don't usually post opinions but thought this may clear up some things regarding your debate.
My story on the night vision goggles was based on information from Fran Gibbons, Hyndburns dog warden. I was surprised to hear they used them but Fran was happy to pose in a picture wearing the goggles from his own kit. Hope this clears thing up.

Sorry Emma was that pic in the Lancs Telegraph?
In the two pics used by the Daily Mail there is no sign of the night vision goggles - just a prat in a rather silly hat.

Are they?
If they were perhaps when they run with a story they read on here, they would call us AccringtonWeb instead of, a local website, what harm would it do?
Perhaps, this is the reporter that is rumoured to have horseriding in common with a certain Councillor and just might be trying to relieve the pressure he may have put himself under when mentioning DNA testing for dogs?
Please place the word allegedly wherever it may be fitting in this post.
