Why not out up a big sign that some of your plants are poisonous to dogs, you have been warned.
Iâve just done something similar with the local villageâs Facebook page.
This is a local bridlepath for local people, weâll have no trouble here!

Youâve clearly never experienced 326âŠ
Iâm sure that what is now 1234 (Test) Squadron on MS Teams (commanded by Blackadder, Edmund) was once 1234 (Royston Vasey) Sqn.

Only way to travel on the magic roundabout is with âblues ad twosâ. The Paris PĂ©riphĂ©rique is just as bad, but far more fun on âblues and twosââŠ
Tech or food? Because I know which one Iâd be most annoyed by arriving late.
Yeah but you donât take a day off work to wait for dinner to be delivered
Depends on how fat youâre feeling
Cambelt and major service today - that was ÂŁ600
Usual honest mechanic i use handed my a quote for ÂŁ800 for other bits that need fixing before my MOT 
Might need to max out some VA

ISPs.
I live in a rural area so Iâm used to slow internet speeds, but my upload speed has been getting worse and worse. So I finally called my ISP today and they confirmed I should be receiving a minimum upload speed of 0.4 Mbps.
The lass on the other end of the phone ran a test her end and said âI can see youâre receiving an upload speed of 0.33, which is higher than our minimum speed guarantee of 0.4â
No matter what I tried, she refused to see that that was incorrect. I even tried telling her âyouâve promised 0.40 and Iâm receiving 0.33, which is lowâ and got âno, no, no, itâs not 0.40 itâs just 0.4â thrown back at me.
Iâm amazed some people manage to remember how to breathe without it being written down for them. I informed her that I would be submitting a formal complaint and ended the call.
TIL: 0.33 > 0.4âŠ
Reminds me of the failed 1/3 pounder burger, because 4 is larger than 3âŠ

Exactly where my head went too, though I thought better than to throw that her way as it was clear she would want the quarter pounderâŠ
I had a similar experience with British Gas.
Before i met my wife, i was living on my own, and was able to reduce my energy (gas and electricity) usage. I was on a fixed rate deal, and using less so expected my DD to go downâŠaccording to several at BG they insisted my DD was increased.
no one i spoke to understood that if my bill was ÂŁ240 for the year, that equals ÂŁ20/month would cover it.
if my bill reduced to ÂŁ180/year my monthly payment should reduce to ÂŁ15/month
they insisted the monthly payment needed to go up - some people just donât get it
*NB these are not actual energy numbers, these were used as easy numbers for the maths
We had the same. Took a massive risk just before covid and pulled the plug on our hardwired phone connection and bought a 4G router. Then churned through free SIM cards from different providers until we found the best one in our area. Then plugged SIM card into phone to find the strongest suitable signal for the router to live.
Itâs not super fast. But itâs far, far superior to the Broadband we had.
Oh. And cheaper too. Unlimited data for ÂŁ18 per month from Smarty. Iâve just bought a MiFi hub too. Which is currently powering our tent on holiday in Cornwall. #win

If your upload speed was 0.36 I could see her (pedantic) point but 0.33 is unambiguously not 0.4 even if rounded to the nearest 10thâŠ
They always round up 
I donât think this is a rounding issue. I get the impression itâs more a case of someone thinking 0.33 > 0.4 because thirty-three is bigger than four (i.e. they donât know how decimals work).
