Official Dogging area.

[dreamz]

A fake brown tourist sign, pointing to an "official dogging area" at a Cotswold beauty spot has been ripped down by angry residents.

It was put up on the Cirencester bypass at Birdlip and points towards the Barrow Wake viewpoint - a notorious site for public sexual activity.

David Parkinson said Barrow Wake's reputation was a problem for local residents and the sign did not help.

A local resident told the BBC 'this place is going to the dogs!'

Haha that's awesome! I love people with a sense of humour

[littlegreenfairy]

That's ace!

Glad to see the residents are happy about it

Most of the doggers are pretty ruff, so I've heard. Very paw quality.

Ah, that's why I love the British!

Looks a bit like a "secret nuclear bunker" sign..

If you get nicked there, do the police "feel your collar"

You must be barking.

Very amusing.

This is the true British humour

I thought there was an official area for the fairer of the less fairer sex, as the council thought it was a bit rude not to let them try it al fresco.

No, because it wouldn't stand up in court.

You'd be accused of leading the witness!

Reminds me of the time I went to see WB Yeats' grave, standing there in the rain was a Dutchman shaking his head in disbelief, muttering to himself 'And I came all the way just to see this?"

I cast a cold eye on him I can tell you!
