> In a five page letter to Miss Langtry Tower Hamlets council outlines that it will not be continuing with prosecution, but that "the officer has power to deal with an offence of failing to remove dog faces [sic]." <

Good on them for tackling the dog fouling problem. Shame they've employed a jumped up idiot to do it.

[naomi24]

He surely has to produce the poo in court as evidence? Exhibit A M'Lud....

[emmie]

he shouldn't continue on with his job.

[DaisyNonna]

Give someone a uniform ( including peaked cap ), mobile phone, high visibility jacket and let them loose on the public without proper training, guide lines and supervision. No need to light the blue touch paper.

[emmie]

would he have been as obnoxious had it been a bloke.

[tamborine]

When dealing with officialdom, as with any similar situation, the argument has two protagonists, and some rules apply to both.

First - only start an argument that you know you have a reasonable chance of winning.

Second, make sure you know what your end objective is before you start, and keep on point throughout the argument.

Third - if you are going around in circles - walk away.

So - the council official got carried away with his desire to obtain details, and took it too far by involving the police.

The lady went around in circles, when her best option would have been to walk away.

Given that neither achieved any meaninful objective, both did well to keep their tempers, but it was always going to end up as an exercise in futlity.

I would have walked away after about a minute, and refused to entertain any further conversation.

I would have rubbed his nose in it !

andy-hughes - in this context, I love your "end objective" :-)
