Albert Tatlock Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 TRAM horses could be fitted with nappies in a bid to keep Douglas promenades clear of their droppings. Council leader David Christian (Hills) put forward the suggestion at last week's council meeting in a bid to save money and keep the town clean. Golden opportunity missed there for the headline "David Christian talks shit". What a genius! Can't we get him involved in sorting out the middle east crisis somehow? Smoking conductors are the least of the problems - ever stood behind a horse when it farted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keyboarder Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 This is actually a good idea - it's a simple and economical solution that's already been road tested in numerous other places to the problem of steaming piles of fresh horse's excrement all over the prom. I for one find it pretty revolting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cret Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Initial reaction is what a daft sight that would be but I have to be honest here that I am inclined to agree with Keyboarder (yes I know) that large piles of horse crap isn't a very pleasant thing on the prom. Or on any other roads for that matter. I appreciate it's nowhere near as noxious as turd from other animals but it's still not specially nice, and if it can be put to use elsewhere then why not.

keyboarder Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 There's another better solution - rather than put the manky nags in a nappy, put them in an abbatoir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ean Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Horse meat isn't that great, i'd prefer them pulling a tram then have them for dinner tbh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x-in-man Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Why not have a 'crap trap' behind the 'orse and before the cart? Emptied at the stable end when needed. Im sure some enterprising 6th former could knock one up in D and T. As for standing behind a farting horse, never tried it ... and I dont think I ever would with a lit fag!

Im sure some enterprising 6th former could knock one up in D and T. I'm sure I've seen them somewhere before. The best way I can describe it is a "crap hammock" suspended midway between arse and floor. Edit: Just seen this contraption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lfc84 Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 There's another better solution - rather than put the manky nags in a nappy, put them in an abbatoir. put them in a field where they belong. there's no tourists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losgigantes Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I think considering that horses are up and down the prom all day its kept very clean with the corporation cleaner cleaning the road. Dont see what the problem is. They outa sort out the awful smell near the old summerland coming off the beach wouldnt like to say what that smells of.

Pat Ayres Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I always thought that was why the fire engines have those chains hanging underneath. Surely they cause more road wear than a pile of horse shit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
