"We're not a pet toilet", says Castletown tearoom

A tearoom in the south of the Island is asking dog owners to help it with a wee problem.

In a post to a Castletown community group on Facebook, the Vintage Tearooms says dogs are relieving themselves on signs outside its doors.

The business on Malew Street is pleading with dog owners to be responsible and stop their pets doing it because the signs are taken in at night smelling of urine.

It's asking people to behave responsibly, adding "we do not want to take this to the next level".
