police activity on avenue parade tonight..
 

My sister lives on avenue parade near the bottom and tonight after seeing and hearinga few blues and twos she had 2 police officers banging on her front window..when she opened the front door they asked her if she'd had any rspca people at her door as they had reports that bogus people are in the area..anyone else hear this?
To be honest I think there is more to it as the amount of cars and police power seemed excessive for a bogus caller..

Re: police activity on avenue parade tonight..
 

i suppose in all fairness it depends what the bogus caller is doing if he gains access to someones home

Re: police activity on avenue parade tonight..
 

They (RSPCA callers) were round at our house last night said we already had enough monthly pet expense....Don't they realise how much it costs to keep a westie?

Re: police activity on avenue parade tonight..
 

I also had RSPCA at my Door yesterday, I've got two bunnies and a baby! He was very quick to move on to the next house.

I live on Avenue Parade, didn't see or hear any Police but did have someone saying they were from the RSPCA knock on my door yesterday afternoon asking for donations. He was a young tallish asian chap, very friendly to talk to even though i didn't sign up for giving any money. I saw him later talking to someone in a white van higher up!

Best Regards - Taggy

As well as asking for, and gaining,some cash it could have been a pretext for finding out which houses had dogs -possible future targets for burglars, they would obviously want to avoid any with dogs which would bark!

Re: police activity on avenue parade tonight..
 

Think you may be a bit of target there mobertol, its not the barking that frightens them its the thought of being bitten, you ever seen an Asian with a dog, they just don't like them :dogrun:

Re: police activity on avenue parade tonight..
 

similar description to guy who knocked on our door on Pinewood Drive about 6.10pm tonight

Re: police activity on avenue parade tonight..
 

Wrong mate theres loads round our way got dogs, in fact just a few streets away there was n article in paper recently about em dog fighting.;)

Re: police activity on avenue parade tonight..
 

Hey we had that guy at our door too and were in Baxenden and he did ask firstly if we had a dog thought nothing of it at the time hmmmmm

I had heard before that muslims don't like dogs and so I looked it up.
Islam and dogs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I suppose that the muslims who keep dogs are like the catholics who eat fish on Fridays.

Re: police activity on avenue parade tonight..
 

Of course I meant 'eat meat on Fridays'

Re: police activity on avenue parade tonight..
 

I once asked an Asian lad I used to work with why they were so frightened of dogs. He explained that rabies was quite common in Pakistan and if you had ever seen anyone suffer and die from it you would understand their fear.

Re: police activity on avenue parade tonight..
 

Talking of which the Catholic Church are reintroducing the no meat on Friday's rule as from tomorrow. So it's a fish supper tomorrow for me, jaysay, cashy and a few more on here no doubt.;)

Re: police activity on avenue parade tonight..
 

so whats the reason for UK born muslims not liking them .Is it just a dislike passed down from generation to generation ?

not taking the pee there either but it seems some muslims born here will happily own a dog yet others have an irrational dislike for them.

It seems the muslims that are more westernized dont have a problem with dogs yet those that follow the whole tradition and wear the outfit and little hat etc do.

despite my best effort im sure i have just been very politically incorrect but one can only do one's best :)

Re: police activity on avenue parade tonight..
 

my womans catholic so she can either eat the friday night chicken madrass or pass it on over to me and ill make room for it :D

The wiki link I posted shows -
Religious impurity

Muslims generally cast dogs in a negative light because of their ritual impurity. Muhammad didn't like dogs according to Sunni tradition.[2] (However, this may simply reflect general cultural views of the time, rather than a personal animosity.[4]) It is said that angels do not enter a house which contains a dog. Though dogs are not allowed for pets, they are allowed to be kept if used for work, such as guarding the house or farm, or when used for hunting purposes.
In a tradition found in the Sunni hadith book, al-Muwatta, Muhammad states that the company of dogs voids a portion of a Muslim's good deeds.[5]

Catholics can eat meat on Fridays.
- The Pope eats beaver, in particular on a Friday or in Lent. The Roman Catholic Church designated it a fish because they are scaly and live in water. Catholics are not allowed to eat meat on Fridays or in Lent. 400 tonnes of capybara, the largest rodent of Earth, is eaten during Lent in Venezuela. Beavers excrete castoreum, which is used in aspirin.

Shut up Accyman.:D

Re: police activity on avenue parade tonight..
 

Well thats what I heard Margaret, but as for fish on fridays I love my steak pudding chips and peas on a Friday night:D

Re: police activity on avenue parade tonight..
 

Ya that sounds very feasible too yerself

Re: police activity on avenue parade tonight..
 

I'm waiting to hear cashy's view on that:D I've alread said what mine is;)

Re: police activity on avenue parade tonight..
 

They can please themselves i usually do. :D:D:D

Re: police activity on avenue parade tonight..
 

I understand that Halal and Kosher rules are religious practices, so why don't all christians have a rule about 'no meat on Friday'?

:eek::eek::eek:

Re: police activity on avenue parade tonight..
 

the pope eats beaver ?

from news and evidence given from many victims of the vatican i think its more likely he munches on sausage

Re: police activity on avenue parade tonight..
 

iv done bar work in accy i can relate :)

Re: police activity on avenue parade tonight..
 

They don't, haven't had for years, except probably Good Friday, but I don't think that's just a catholic thing

Re: police activity on avenue parade tonight..
 

I can relate to that Busman, some years ago I was canvasing with an Asian and a dog came out when the door was opened, I finished the nights canvas on my own

Re: police activity on avenue parade tonight..
 

just to clarify did the asian go home to wash himself because of the dog or you ? :D

Re: police activity on avenue parade tonight..
 

Considering it happened on the third night we'd been out canvasing together, I would think the dog;)

Re: police activity on avenue parade tonight..
 

So, if a muslim was contemplating buying a house in a particular area, he may well decide to find out how many dogs there are in the district.

Re: police activity on avenue parade tonight..
 

Seriously Margaret, I would think a devout Muslim may well do that

Re: police activity on avenue parade tonight..
 

Did he loose his job for that?

Re: police activity on avenue parade tonight..
 

Your joking, ya never read about in the papers did ya;)
