Please use the bins or take your rubbish home with you.

My place is 'Burger and Fries' (car) distance from a McDonalds. Weekly I collect and dispose of between 10 and 20 bags of McDonalds rubbish. I got so fed up I actually took a weeks collection back to, what I believe is, the source place and gave it to them. Hasn't done much good apart from self satisfaction on my part. Yes I'd love to have the buyers car reg number on the packaging so I could get something done about the rubbish I have to clean up.

Have seen one car throw a half drank can at a cyclist, whilst I had the number, and supported the cyclist with statements to the plod nothing was ever done about it. A real pity as doing that could really injure someone.

It's too late for some. I've seen a 70 odd year old chuck his rubbish before. What do you say to his mother if she's still around?

It takes a tosser to produce a tosser?

And there are plenty of tossers to produce tossers.

Paking on Zigzags and even seen across a dropped kerb where the lollypop lady does her crossing.

Parking on zig zags is a daft way to pick up some points on your licence

I know but so many people do it these days

How often are these offenders caught and dealt with though.

Some people ( usually with low personal standards)don't worry about breaking the rules because there's nobody about to enforce them.

I was at one of the local beaches last year and there was a sign asking people to take their litter away at the end of their stay but then it went on to say 'please do not bury broken glass or soiled nappies in the sand'.
I can't remember what shocked me the most, the fact that the Council needed to point this out or the fact that people actually did it.

The one disposal that really, really winds me up at the coast is the idiots who throw food (Chips, fish, ice cream, etc) out on the beaches 'cause they think they are feeding the gulls - ignoring the signs that says 'DO NOT FEED THE GULLS'. All they are doing is teaching the gulls that Fish & Chips or Ice Cream is easy to get food and can be snatched out of humans hands; when that happens they complain about the birds behaviour!
I really hate it because when stepson (10Y'sO) had his fish snatched out of his hand as he was about to put the fish in his mouth, the gull left a bruise on his cheek, poor lad was so scared he dropped the rest of his F&C's and he sh*t himself! in the end not sure which was more upsetting for the poor lad - the mess he made of himself or loosing his food.

I went for a walk with the dog yesterday, we went to Gladhouse Reservoir.
This is what I saw.

There are five tents there, the white stuff is toilet paper and there was waste food and human sh¡t everywhere.
Dirty batsrads!

It makes you wonder what their homes are like..

Maybe thst is their homes Harry. I see more and more people living in tents when out on my walks.

They were all youngsters, none of them looked more that twenty years old. Two of the girls were walking around as if they were joined at the hip, stopping to kiss every ten steps. They also had a wee yappy dog, and the reservoir is also used as a drinking water supply

A friend told me they were cycling along the A52 and someone chucked a packet of biscuits at them.
He was Hobnobbed!
It's always funnier when it happens to someone else.

They know all about it. It's been an ongoing thing for a few years now.
