you can't make this shit up
Pam Robson was walking her dog, Derik, in Houghton-le-Spring when it ran off to take a dump. She went over to where it had relieved itself and picked up what she thought was the result of his movements.

Guidelines will need to be written, exams for potential turd inspectors designed, uniforms and clipboards purchased. MPs will need to visit exotic locations on 'fact-finding' missions to see how other countries organise their efforts .. ..
