Should pay and display parking cash machines be replaced by parking apps?No .A lot of people don't have phones. The elderly in particular are most affected. My parents are In their 80s, don't own a mobile and would be totally confused trying to use it full stop, never mind in cases like these. Most other people find these car park phone apps troublesome..my husband is very good with these.apps & even he comes across problems. What happens if you run out of charge, or do not have internet banking.? This isn't a fair system and it's trying to enforce itself onto Society, which isn't ready for it. .ViewDate:

Should dog walkers be limited to the number of dogs they walk?My daughter (38 years old) is a dog walker. She has no more than 6 at once and even less if they are big dogs. All well behaved but even a couple of labradors are very strong together.. The dogs need to e well behaved, obedient and good natured. Even the most.placid dog can.get.scared, and bolt, at sudden unexpected noises. You also have to consider what the dog is bred for, retrieving, hunting, burrowing, chasing. Each ones to its own needs. Let's not get started on dog psychology! Anyway, a lot of thought and consideration is needed before taking on a dog. Plus, think of all that doggy poo you have to pick up!ViewDate:

Should dog walkers be limited to the number of dogs they walk?My daughter is a dog walker, and limits her walks to 6 dogs at a time.. She has been dog walking for over 6 years and most are her regulars, she knows their habits. If she knows she's going to have more she asks her friends or family for help.. I go out with her when I can, with my own dog and some of the irresponsible behaviour of other dog owners is shocking. Including not cleaning up their dogs mess. Generally , It's not the dogs it the humans and their lack of understanding of dogs breeds their needs, strengths, problems and behaviours.ViewDate:

Do you think Camilla should be crowned queen?'m not a royalist, and I certainly don't think Charles should be king, alas there it is..I dont envisage him as a good impartial King..He is trying to get involved in politics..It's not his place. As for Camilla being Queen. Yes. She has a firm grip on her Royal role and appears to keep steering her husband in the right direction..he needs someone for guidance. She also has a good reputation for being open and down to earth. -
