Two (ahem) overweight ladies pushing a perfectly fit dog in a kid's pushchair in the general direction of the new Liverpool waterfront museum. 😯
For context, the beast was a fit-looking Bulldog and obviously a damn lazy one at that. Comme ça:

Looked pretty pleased with itself.
Anyone got a better odd sighting of the day?
And why would people wheel a dog around?
That was my gran! The dog's back legs are paralysed, after it was ran over by a cyclist! 😐
No way! Seriously, d45yth?
Come to think about it, they weren't that overweight... I might have exaggerated that bit! Was more preoccupied with the dog. 😀
😆
So your Gran is a Bulldog ? mines a goat !
what tyres for running over dogs legs?
I have a bulldog and they are as stubborn a dog as you can get.
If mine decides he has had enough of walking he will sit down and you can't move him until you head in the direction of home.
They are not very heat tolerant neither, so this warm weather does them no favours, ours only goes for walks early morning or late evening in this weather.
(Never in a pushchair though)
My odd sighting of the day was a guy a passed on my commute on the bike. Even at 7am it was a wind free 16 degrees, caught up with a guy wearing heavy cycling jacket, longs, winter boots and full finger gloves. Now that was a bit odd, but the balaclava was even odder. wtf, he's going to be sweating like a fat kid in a cake shop if he's riding home tonight.
@ tish. Yeah, the presence of the pushchair suggests the owners were prepared for stubborn.
Are all bulldogs smug sods? This beast was positively Simon Cowell-esque...
Yeah, every bulldog I have met has a certain arrogance!
Ours isn't lazy though, just stubborn and not the smartest.
Mystery solved then – every day's a learning day!
Surely then only the back half of the dog needs to be in a pushchair?
One of my mates had a bulldog. I've seen him carrying and dragging it home because once the fat, lazy git has decided its not moving any more, it really, really bloody means it! When you get its lead out it runs and hides under the bed. I'm not convinced its not just a hideously disfigured cat
As odd sightings go today - a more fuller figured lass walking down the road. Clearly enjoying the weather. Stretched-too-thin-leggings. Ripples spilling over. Face like a melted wellie. Bra only, no top, not even some crop top or something. I mean just a bra. Lots of Mr T style gold effect jewellery, can of Red Stripe in hand.
Delightful! Was a little bit sick in my mouth!
I had a friend with a very lazy dog.
He called it 'Cigarette' because he took it out for a drag every night.
igmc.
Bulldogs are all smug, lazy, intransigent gits then?
Having witnessed the beast-in-pushchair, I'm ready to believe it. He might as well have been smoking a cigar. 😯
I wonder what a dog thinks about as it's being wheeled about by humans...

Wait til she gets home. I've told her time and time again about drinking in the daytime!

Simile of the day right there, Binners!
Congratulations, your prize is a lazy dog in a pushchair. 😀

just coming out of the jeremy kyle tv studio?
So come on which STWer was it riding through skiton one handed whilst balancing a large tray of cakes on the other hand ?
Face like a melted wellie.
Thank you, Binners, painting pictures with words, that little gem joins my collection. 😆
Funnily enough, there's what looks like a dropped tray of cakes in the middle of my road (in Skipton). Not kidding! Appeared about an hour ago.
binners made me laugh a lot.
Binners I think I can top your sighting. I actually saw a customer of Asda without a single apparent tattoo.
14 unicyclist's mountain biking around Llandegla. To be fair it wasn't actually today but not that long ago, it seemed so wrong yet was strangely fascinating!
Odd sighting of the day #2:
A man crawling along Liverpool promenade, eyes down. Looked quite smart too. Still there 10 minutes later.
What tiny object could possibly be worth finding that you can't locate after 10 minutes of unabashed outdoor scrutinising?
Sim card?
Contact lens?
Hope hub spring?
My in-laws had a Westie that sadly came down with cancer. She was OK pottering around the house, still eating, etc, but wasn’t great on walks. My mother-in-law wanted her to carry on getting some fresh air whilst she walked the other two dogs, so she went to a charity shop and bought an old pram.
As she was out walking, people would peer in, cooing, expecting to see a baby, and instead would get a slightly bemused Westie staring back at them.
