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. :-) - Tom Blackmore, SW Essex. |

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. Will -- |

LOL- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - 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'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... |

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. |
