Hate to resurrect his thread, but a remark on the 'Life on Mars' programme last week ( where a detective is transported back in time to 1973) made me laugh. They had caught a suspect and about to rub his nose in WHITE dog pooh. The traveller remarked that he doesn't see that much anymore ! meaning in 2006.
Terry Wogan had looked into this and explained on his programme was due to the fact that when you shopped at the butchers he always presented you with a marrow bone "and something for the dog". This was obviously calcium based and would account for the colouring in the pooh. Don't know how true this is, however, gave my sad brain stimulant and wondered if you would find this colour more acceptable Gayle ?
