I was walking through Hulmes Wood this afternoon with my old faithful hound when the brightly coloured objects in the picture above caught my eye. At first I thought they were multi-coloured plastic bags containing dog dirt. There is an epidemic in parts of Tameside where lazy/inconsiderate dog owners collect and bag the mess made by their dogs, but instead of binning it, they fling it into trees or brambles, which in my opinion is actually worse than leaving in situ on the ground because it creates an eyesore which lasts for years as the bags containing the dog dirt are made from heavy duty plastic which takes an age to biodegrade.
As I got closer I could see that the brightly coloured objects were in actual fact various pieces of ladies underwear. This is a bizarre one, could it be some kind of Pagan ritual where ladies deposit their soiled (yes - yuk!) underwear in trees or has a deviant pervert stolen a bag of laundry? I don’t have a clue, but I suspect there is an interesting story behind these bizarre going ons.

I've seen dogshit in bags slung into trees in Droylsden so it must be happening everywhere.
That's because our crap council removed all the waste bins to save money on emptying them so they could spend it instead on things like making sure their allowances aren't cut.
Very much obliged Mr Citizen.
I myself planted the Pant Tree (common skiddinnickus) seed last spring whilst visiting Hulmes Wood, and am very pleased to see it has bloomed so beautifully!
If you were tempted to take a cutting, I recommend waiting until March before planting out, to avoid frost affecting the delicate perfume.

This soiled underwear, how did they smell?
Do you think they were freshly removed by willing nubile ladies, or did they have the smell of three day old mustiness, clearly associated with a burgaled laundry hamper?
Your readers need to know 'the truth'
By the way, your story has to much emphasis on lazy dog walkers,I think 'dogging' could be the answer to your question.
I shall investigte further. If you spy a pair of black boxer shorts with a little bit of sex wee encrusted on them on Sunday morning, then you have nothing to worry about.
It's only me.
You shouldn't have posted this TC, you are inviting every dirty perv who reads it to head down to hulmes wood. You can imagine them with their brown macks and porn mags shuffling through the woods looking for the tree festooned with knickers.
S**t runs uphill said........
I wondered how long before someone blamed the council rather than the people responsible. Hey oh........
Where's the exposé by J Hall? Is he struggling with the cut and paste task? Either he has something to say or he doesn't. It's normally the latter. Cue the offensive post by J Hall........
Anonymous 07:49, why, does someone else remove or fail to install dog waste bins? The litterers are responsible for that (but perhaps some of them didn't want to carry it three miles) and the council are responsible for failing to install/removing the dog waste bins.
In case you weren't aware there is an anti-dog clique amongst some of the more braindead Tameside Labour mafia. They haven't got the intelligence or ability to deal with or understand large or significant issues, and so zero in on relatively trivial issues they think will get them some attention in the local Press.
After the demos by dog owners in Duki Park the ringleader councillor has finally shut his mouth on the issue.
dogs should shit on there own land and be band from parks
Responsible dog owners don't deserve to be punished for the actions of the few irresponsible ones.
I see Cath Piddington has had her fun.
