Fights in the street over who gets the turds for the rose garden

I recall those days, waiting with shovel in hand for the milk or vegie cart to come up the street, mother standing by with pail in hand sending me onto the road while she would watch for traffic. Thank goodness it was early 60's when hardly anyone had cars.

Election time its still peddling LOL

We see these top leaders spruking all they are worth (not much) for what only to have to vote for who not them they aren't from your area Whats your local polly doing sitting back sipping tea. Whats their agenda.........no problem if your Labor vote they are plotting who to put in next as leader same as the other mob. So who you vote for now may be in the Rubbish truck by next week. Biggest waste of tax funds ever.

Some people recommend putting horse scones on their rhubarb too – I prefer custard on mine.

Momentarily harking back to the original topic: Stickers and labels!

Why do manufacturers insist on placing irremovable stickers on their products? I can understand the segmented price stickers to dissuade dishonest gits from swapping labels in the aisles, but come on, why can't the manufacturers employ easy-peel labels?

On a similar tack, why do clothing manufacturers insist on sewing the scratchiest labels into their garments – undies especially! Have you ever stood closely behind a woman (what on earth were you doing?) and noticed her expensive Italian silk blouse all puckered up at about shoulder level? Another case of cursed labels detracting from otherwise beautiful and expensive garments.

Oh, and the imbeciles who walk around with the manufacturers' rack spotter labels still tacked onto the sleeves of their coats!

Oh, oh, oh and the wannabes with the Orefors crystal wine glasses that they got for a wedding present that still have the germ-harbouring Orefors labels stuck on them for everyone to see.

Yes used to do it myself but I was talking originally of the time when horse drawn transport was the norm and the streets would be ankle deep in slurry.

This is about New York , but ,
A horses is a horse of course ......

The normal city horse produced between fifteen and thirty-five pounds of manure a day and about a quart of urine, usually distributed along the course of its route or deposited in the stable. While cities made sporadic attempts to keep the streets clean, the manure was everywhere, along the roadway, heaped in piles or next to stables, or ground up by the traffic and blown about by the wind.

This of course for cyclists of today would be a great advantage, back then when riding bikes it used to adhere to sides of rims and stop breaks from gripping, sling off tyres all over your back, stick to shoes make roads slippery and traction impossible used to put the wind up when going round corners at full pelt and the back end slid out.
