I see the storm force winds for Thurs night \ Fri is going to only hit
the south coast and the south east. Can I expect the TV news to be
filled with 30 mins of people twittering on about, fences blowing down
and dustbins rolling down the road?

Have you seen how many bins we now have with the recycling initiatives
the Councils down here have been indulging in? We got another 2 last
week for "waste food" collections.

Likely to be like a WW2 anti-submarine fleet passing through, with all
those cylinders hurtling through the air here come Friday. :-)

In Lewisham and Southwark they now have the community bin also known
as the streets.

Tell me about it!

We have two main sledging slopes on Haytor and once the hordes have left and
the snow has melted it is amazing what you can find;
Bits of plastic from ruined "sledges", various drinks cartons, a bottle
opener (that I kept), condom packet (empty!!!!!), bottles, socks, gloves,
broken walking pole, underpants, and it goes on .......
Dartmoor National Park authority fortunately are excellent at clearing up!

Away from the sledging areas it is usually pristine clean though, apart from
dead animal remains.
Summer is much better for a reason that escapes me.

Start to clear it up. Take a lead. There's seldom any bottles/drinks
cans/plastic bottles in the streets around my house, because when I'm
out walking the dog, I pick them up, take them back with me and put
them in the recycling. Just small things like that make the streets
look tidier and that encourages people to keep them tidy. There's very
good research that shows that people further abuse areas which are
constantly untidy and litter-strewn, but don't do the same with areas
which are seen to be clean.

It takes nothing to pick up a few cans, or bottles. Start a trend and
you might be surprised at what improvements come from it.

I came out of my house this morning and somebody has dumped a Childs
mattress. Just over the road at the entrance to the Alexandra
recreation Park some pig has dumped the packaging of their flash wide
screen LED. This happens all the time now. The usual culprits are
thick ****s usually on Housing benefits and exempt from CT and yes
generalisations are pretty accurate nowadays. So what we have if
people who actually pay exorbitant council tax, diligently recycling
their rubbish, whilst those that pay nothing for their rubbish
collection think nothing of dumping it at the end of a nice quiet road
or in the hedge of someone who does pay for their rubbish collection.

Yes it is commendable that you pick up rubbish when you see it, but it
isn't commendable paying for and suffering at the hands of, the
rubbish that is increasingly populating our country.


Only lefties like you think that way and the irony is it's people like
you who have indulged this behaviour for several decades, are the
primary cause of the standards we suffer from today in what is
essentially a deteriorating society.

Why does picking up a few sweet wrappers and drinks cans somehow make
you leftwing? I've been recycling since the early 80s. If I see people
chucking rubbish out of their cars and the car is in slow moving
traffic I've been known to chuck it back into their car. It usually
leads to a torrent of abuse - but the culprit (often a well-heeled
person in a nice car - not DSS) is usually so embarrased that it has
yet to end in violence...

Yes I've done the same Scott. But my point is and I made it to Marcus
as he is always accusing me of being a right wing reactionary so that
obviously plants Mr Morning Star on the left. Unless he says
otherwise. However the streets of London have become one huge dumping
ground for the usual suspects. As for picking up rubbish: I usually
find conservative people with a small c are very well behaved.
