Here's what you don’t expect when you take your dog for a walk by your local river.
That dog to come running back to you with brown stuff hanging off her coat that looks like Cadbury’s chocolate buttons but smells like a skunk’s intestines.
But hey, this is Britain 2023, where it’s fine for a water company like United Utilities to take many hundreds of pounds a year from us, bung most of it to shareholders, then dump their waste in our rivers, even if it means our dogs painting our car seats in turd emulsion.
