Have you looked at the verges when driving along the motorways these days. Theres hardly a patch of grass thats clear of paper, platic, bottles etc.

Whatever happened to people being taught to take their rubbish home.
Dont people have any pride any more. I guess not.

Again, Britain, 2006.

Peasant immigrants, no standards, everyone is pissed off, roads are rammed, no culture or class.

Lazy, ignorant, arrogant.

LUCKO

Oh well another thread slating Britain!!!

Has anybody actually got anything good to say about Britain on this BBS????

Try living outside of Britain before condeming the place then you will realise the grass is not always greener on the other side.

_RIP_

Whinging is very british though

I try and reduce the amount of roadside litter by flicking ciggy ends at it, trying to burn it away.

I used to attempt to cause other road users to come off the road (and therefore squash the litter into the ground) by the use of front fog lights, however this was not successful and resulted in high blood pressure of at least three scooby drivers (preventing them from fully shining their halos up).

Chip

It wasnt meant as a thread slating Britain at all. I love my country (Wales) and enjoy living here. I just think its a damn shame that a few others cant respect it the way it should be.

Point taken and I agree with you

I was brought up to respect the environment and put rubbish in the bin or take it home. But then again I was born in the 70s so am in the last age group to respect old fashion values and also the police no matter what I think of them.

Ye got to be honest nobody seems to give a **** these days, just lob rubbish from moving cars, I even saw asians fly tipping in a Cemmetry in Birmingham FFS!!

Since i have moved from brum the locals are a lot more proud of where they live which really should be the same outlook all over the UK, but its not

I imagine these people believe theyre on job creation - personally i think theyre chavscum...

I think there should be an initiative where the police pull people for littering, and make them spend ten minutes picking it and other litter up. Or maybe a freephone number where you could report people for littering? It is unlikely the police force would make any money out of it, therefore it is not a priority. Send letters on an old Bacon and Egg McMuffin wrapper to Gordon Brown or Clarke. Or Blair. Or Blair.

Obviously, flicking cigarette butts isn't littering as such (although it is paramount to criminal damage........)

DJ140

Making people pick litter up, surely that would be against their human rights

TheBigMan

Yes - their right to drop litter.

If you don't like it, seek alternative ways to get to where you want to go where people are not dropping litter.


I really hope some people from the smoking thread see this because there is ABOLUTELY NO DIFFERENCE in what I have said above and the arguments on the smoking issue.

Gutmann pug

apparently 1 in 10 people in southampton are now Polish......

davyboy

Only a smoker could make that logic.

Clarebabes

And they are over-qualified, work for minimum wage, turn up to jobs on time, don't text their mates all the time and have respect.

Our young people better buck their ideas up or they'll never work.

Northampton has a high number too.

SwishOvBolton

you dont count ur german !

wrxtankie

No he's not.

SwishOvBolton

dpb

youre quite right....!

Gutmann pug

and lots dont speak a word of english and hence have no idea about health and safety regulations so should not be working on site.

scarey

dropping litter is already illegal and subject to a fine.

however the fines for stopping motorists are bigger

TheBigMan

Is there a difference between dropping litter on the floor or littering the air with smoke?? I can see none whatsoever. On the whole, I would prefer the former over the latter.

N.B. Where smoke is from a non value added exercise named smoking, not emissions from a tool like a car.

Wurzel

I beg to differ! But I am English who just happens to be living in Germany where the kids do have respect and people do not drop litter, and where you can leave a nice car parked somewhere and have it still be there in when you come back, and where the teenagers do not gob off to you, touch your car or hang out in gangs terrorising pedestrians. Where the police still have power over the people and the kids speak to you in a polite courtious manner and ask you about your car rather than key it in a fit of jelousy.

Should I go on????????

Leslie

Nothing to do with slating Britain Wurzel. It all about the total lack of responsibility and thought for others and respect for our country which is being demonstrated by so many people these days.

I agree with Chip wholeheartedly.

To be honest these days I'd rather live amongst a load of Poles than English. For a start their women are much better looking.
