Something of a knock-back for the 'little hitlers'!

Isnt it strange,

If you drop any litter, the councilstapo, are on you like a rash, with fixed penalty's, & threats of prosecution.

There was a woman in the paper this week, accidentaly dropped some food her child was eating, she got done, yet the evidence was eaten by birds.

But should you walk along any street these days, watch the council contractors cutting the grass..


They no longer sweep it up, they blow the cuttings into the gutters or to the side of the pavement.

now if that isn't littering, i don't know what is

I hate littering, always have!
I read recently, in my home town's newspaper, that cigarette ends are the most complained about form of littering I thought chewing gum would win that vote. At least you can sweep up cigarette ends relatively easily.

Where I live now there are hardly any cig butts on any street. The reason is simple, every shop doorway and street corner has an ashtray type bin. Sounds too obvious?

"health and safety issues for the bin men"... What? They all called china or something? Missed their morning manicure? Or just plainly just a bunch of poofs?

They don't even need to lift the things anymore.. they're on bloody wheels!

Ugh...

Talking of jobsworths and rubbish.......

I took a car load of rubbish to the local town carpark just now where there is a fortnightly collection. It was empty aside from me, a dustcart and 6 council workers leaning on brushes. I parked 5m away and went to get one of the large empty wheelies to save walking to the cart half a dozen times (as I do every time I visit). "Sorry Sir, you can't take that away". "But I'm parked there and want to fill up this bin and return it". "Sorry Sir - it's too dangerous".

I gave up at this point
