The chewing gum bloke is based in Muswell Hill - Vic was telling me about him the other week. If we go to the cinema up there this week, we need to keep a look out.

American dog poo looks different to ours! Why is this so?! I am fascinated!

(and no, I don't mean it has decorations on, tsk)

Intriguingly, white dog poo seems to be absent in the US as well as over here.

I was never clear whether white dog poo denoted rubbish dog food or just the length of time the thing had been sat in the street. Either way I saw some white dog poo in the street over near Walworth about five years ago, which tells you a fair bit of what you need to know about Lambeth.

I wonder, had you carbon dated it, whether it would have proved to have been there since 1976.

If that had been the case, that would tell you the rest of what you need to know about Lambeth.

It does rather explain "doing the Lambeth walk - OI!"

My sources tell me that dog food used to contain greater quantities of bone meal, which ended up as the last thing to become decayed in poo, hence the whiteness.

That's enough now.

I've seen white dog poo AND white HUMAN poo in the US! I'll never forget seeing the white human poo in the toilet at school when I was about 6. Ick!

Surely that was ghost poo!

I went home and told my gran and aunt about it (both nurses) and they said it was possible if a kid was sick and and to take certain treatments (I don't remember exactly what). I also seem to recall a very sickly kid in my class that I don't remember being there after the age of 7 or so . . . hmmmm.
