I've started doing a similar thing when I'm out with the dog and bump into other dog walkers, saying things like "that's a lovely sturdy coat he's wearing" or "she's beautifully groomed and she knows it!". Great conversation starter rather than usual "'morning"....

So, according to her lawyer's testimony, Paula Vennells is not guilty because:
