Fed up man makes 2022 calendar of all the dog mess that's been left outside his home

A man fed up with people leaving dog poo in bags near his home has taken photos of the mess to make a 2022 calendar.

Poo Bags of Oxford is the brainchild of Tim Turan who was disgusted with the doggie dos around Bagley Wood and other nature spots while walking out walking his own dog Wooftallini.

The 61-year-old audio mastering engineer decided to capture photographs of the bulging bags of poo hanging from trees and bushes throughout the year.

He created a calendar of his dirty finds and shared it with friends - and he's now selling them too for £15 a pop.

Do dog poo bags blight your morning walks? Would you buy Tim's calendar? Join the conversation below.

Tim, of Cowley, Oxfordshire, said: "Some were amused about why I bothered to take these photos of poo bags, so I thought, well I'll make a calendar.

"I made one or two as a joke to give to friends and after I posted it on Facebook requests started piling in saying 'oh can I have that', 'my dad has got a job and I want to give him that for Christmas'.

"I think it's just laziness. These bags can hang around forever, even though they say they are degradable.

"I've seen the same poo bags adorning the bushes and trees of the woods for weeks and weeks on end.

"It's a really bizarre issue where people think they have to adjourn trees and bushes with these horrible artefacts.

"Instead of the calendars of Oxford Colleges, Christchurch meadow, people can now get 'Poo Bags of Oxford'."
