There must be something about Malthouse Road. Something which causes Malthouse Road to be a dog shit magnet. I walk around most places when in Crawley, and so pound a lot of pavements and paths through parks and green spaces. And in doing so I very rarely see any traces of dog shit left on the ground by lazy owners. But for some reason the west side of Malthouse Road is full of it.
From the junction with Brewer Road north to where Malthouse Road stops at East Park I had to avoid five separate little doggy offerings on the pavement. And they were just the whole ones. There were another two which previous unfortunate pedestrians had managed to put their big (and not so big) feet in and smear across a few slabs as well as the soles of their shoes.
Is it a no poo bag zone? Is it passersby giving their own version of social commentary on what they think of Malthouse Road? Or is it that those living on Malthouse Road are just a bunch of lazy bastards who can’t be arsed to clean up after their dogs? It makes it a bit of a shit walk though.
Some may be asking what the title has to do with what has been written above. Those people must have never seen Eddie Murphy’s “Delirious.” And the father’s rant I the cookout scene about the kids not cleaning up the dog shit.
