Some observations on fellow members this year

I'm struggling to see the relevance of that comment. Have any of the recent posters even mentioned that they own or sleep with dogs?
Yes.
Sorry, I must have missed that. Which posts referring to "human functions" also referred to "sleeping in confined spaces" with dogs?

Not obtuse at all, BB! Just asking David to clarify his reply "yes" to my question about which posters had made a comment complaining about "human functions" while at the same time sleeping with dogs. I genuinely may have missed it.
Of course it may be that folk who sleep with dogs in confined spaces become more tolerant of the "smells" and "noises" of human functions that others dislike !

Nope - hairshirt caravanning is choosing to use sites with no facilities on the site so OH would have to use the van facilites and I would have to put up with the smells and sounds six inches from my head.
Sleep the other way round. That should give you a clearance margin of at least five feet.

Not sure how you'd get on on some of the older small yachts I've sailed in where the loo is bolted down between the two bunks in the forecabin.
You just have to time things for when the rest of the crew are on deck.
..Thats posh !! i thought you still "hung it" over the lee side

My point moulsy is as I feel sure you understood in the first place is that it is bizarre that anyone who can live in a confined space with dogs (often several) should have a problem with the functions we all have to undertake .
Fair enough to make that point, David ... but my point was this ... which posters who live in a confined space with dogs had said they had a problem with human functions? You implied there were some comments to that effect. It seems like two different sets
of folk to me, unless I've missed something earlier in the thread?0 -
M, shall we now add a tad pedantic to obtuse
the general point is that 'there are' folk (many on CT) who spend weeks in a van with dogs....
'there are' also folk complaing about humans going to the toilet in the same caravan, even when its in a different room...
that seems odd to AD, and to me too.....as a general point.
to make it easy, lets just sumarise and say 'theres nowt so queer as folk' (especially on CT, it seems...
surely that should cover it
Neither pedantic nor obtuse BB.
I agree there are folk who fit either of those two categories.
David implied (stated) that there were some (on this thread) who fitted both. I couldn't find any.
What is so odd about asking for clarification of that?

I don't think the best person to ask if a dog(s) smell is someone who likes them and spends a considerable time in their company.

A friend ( doggy person) of my OH visited once for a weekend and we had occasion to travel in her car, a virtually new Civic. The smell was overpowering and that was without the dog even being in the car, having been left behind at home/kennels. As Margot,
from The Good Life would say "I rest my case, Gerry".0 -

. I've had 5 muddy & wet Dogs in the back with no effect to the cab occupants.

BB - you can twist things any way you like. The thread moved on to dogs as a result of AD's post at the bottom of page 12 which I asked him to clarify.
I'm sure, in fact I know, that David is quite able to speak for himself and I'm rather surprised you chose to intervene given the pasting you handed out to Corners only a couple of weeks ago for doing just that in an exchange between yourself and, if I remember
rightly (I do!
) JVB66.All I was asking David to do was to point out the relevant post as I hadn't seen one (you know, the sort of "evidence" so beloved by, if I might use the expression, a certain "alternative usual group" of posters.)
I'm sure he'll be along to do that in due course, himself. (And if I'm mistaken, I will of course apologise to him!)

Real smells, travelling on public transport with the great unwashed in the rush hour.

On the contrary, BB, I think it's you who have either misread or misunderstood David's post.
Have to say the rather patronising tone of that post of yours comes as no surprise, but if it makes you happy feel free to have the last word (hang on, I've just done that haven't I?)

He has not misunderstood me at all and I had no desire to get onto dogs other than to express my incredulity that anyone with such attitudes to caravan sanitation (and en-suite bathrooms ) could at the same time sleep in close quarters to several large dogs as I believe from previous threads Bmb does, if I am mistaken then I apolgise but even if I am wrong she is not going to be the only dog owner who draws a line at No2s in the van toilet
Indeed you are right AD - much of my life involves picking up excrement - this morning before 6am I had collected my daily allocation of about 250 litres of horse muck and a couple of canine jollops.I worked in a nursery for years and so have change an awful lot of nappies in my time which - although not my favourite task of course - didnt much bother me.
I dont mind emptying the toilet in the caravan (OH refuses) and it wouldnt bother me if it had solids in it.when I had to do it, but being that close to the smells and sounds of it being deposited is not for me. Our caravan doesnt smell of dogs, neither does the car. On warm days the kitchen does but other than that the house doesnt either.0
