no pets allowed at centenary event

[David Stepney]

"everybody and their Auntie commenting"

It all seems very strange to me, all this talk of dogs on a forum that's nothing to do with dogs.

In my ideal world dogs would not exist. They seem to have no function, no advantage, and the disadvantages are many. They bite me from time to time. They jump up and put muddy marks on my clothes. And they leave dog muck for me to stand in, sit on, and lie on.

So yes let's make all events dog free please.

Unfortunately I'm not likely to benefit from the situation at Moreton in Marsh. It's too far for the seven. It's a long way in the modern for just one day. And to stay the week gets expensive.

I often say, quite truthfully, that I prefer the company of dogs and horses to any human.
