Would be nice to see a deposit imposed on plastic bottles and cans, people's attitude would soon change. Can't think of a worse weekend than being at the Glastonbury cesspit

As a child of 11/12 i once threw a silver bit of foil off a wrigleys gum out of the Hillman hunter my father was driving, he spotted me in his mirror and stopped the car some 300m up the road and made me go back and pick it up.
I thought it was harsh at the time, but it wasn't it was just firm parenting, i knew the consequence if i ever done it again.

It's not an excuse for littering but to me it seems there has been a massive decline in litter bins over the years. When I was a kid there seemed to be loads of bins around, then due to Irish terrorism, they seemed to be removed and never really have been replaced.
Same in the Lido the other day, as a family left I said to the Dad "You couldn't just pop that rubbish in the bin, could you?" He just looked at me, tutted, and walked off.
What do you actually do though as it's becoming the majority that do this not the minority. How many take rubbish down to the bins from their seats at the Amex?
Must be getting too old!

From what I've noticed, as there are a lot of Polish families in Brighton, they enjoy gatherings on the beach, parks etc. and they pack their rubbish up.

I was thinking this. The mess that is London is almost entirely down to foreigners that's for sure. Disgusting dirty place, oozing with filth, litter and not surprisingly, rats. No wonder, foreigners constantly buying all kinds of crap and dumping packaging and waste food and drinks in street, public transport etc. See it all the time. Shocking lack of respect for their 'hosts'. In our local paper, the magistrates fines are disproportionality full of foreign names for fly tipping, driving without insurance, no TV licence...Petty 'civil' crimes in other words. Probably a cultural thing as you say, those with a more British mindset tending to 'follow the rules' rather more. Though that appears to be changing fast as younger generations know no better because of chavvy upbringings and/or are the spawn of the aforementioned foreigners who seem happy to ignore rules so what chance their kids will?!
Being back community litter picking for schools. And educate the oinks along with higher taxes for fast food outlets and crap like crisps and sweets to pay for the environmental disgrace they cause. It's got completely out of control these days. Woods, lay-bys, roads, railway enbankments, beaches, lakes, shopping areas...litter is everywhere. And most of it won't biodegrade for a couple of hundred years.

That's funny, in local nature reserve they've had to put signs up in polish to stop them from stealing fish and fungai...

As you allude, they have no shame and are the majority these days.

That's exactly what used to happen, we weren't angels but if we got caught there were consequences (and a good chance of getting caught). Sadly lacking in today's parenting skills set. Instead me a mild pathetic voiced 'please don't do that darling...would you like to stop for an ice cream soon?'
Sake...
Yesterday me and a mate took a few beers to Swanbourne Lake (Arundel ) for an afternoon on the hills surrounding the lake. After walking up the big hill that overlooks the whole lake we were greeted with almost the entire hill covered in Mc Donalds cartons, plastic bottles, beer bottles/cans, spent fireworks and used disposable BBQ's. It amazes me how shit people have become in their attitudes
We ended up spending 1/2 hour clearing it all up (in carrier bags they kindly left behind)
Really sad how inconsiderate society has become regarding nature and overall empathy for the environment and others...
Another Americanization that falls to the undesirable list.
Nie kraść ryb ani fungai!
Indeed. It was MUCH worse in th 60s. And that's without factoring in the mountains of dog shit that used to be everywhere. Still, for squalor, the gents lav at the clock tower beat everything - walls smeared with human shit, the floor awash with piss, and several paedophiles lurking and leering in there, all hours. Assuming all public lavs were like this, I avoided to the point I'd rather have soiled myself than run the gauntlet of depravity therein, back in the day.
Heard an awful story as to what happened to one paedophile down there - not sure if it was an urban legend.

At least it sounds like [MENTION=1416]Ernest[/MENTION], Tarquin, Hermione & Merlin had a good day out.

To be honest someone said "I'd have made him", really, how? He's stood there with two very young children and I'm with my young boys. So I turn my litter example into a punch, endangering my kids, committing an offence and saying "it's because he left a few empty cans of coke and crisp packets, he bloody deserved it". There is little or nothing you can do is there?

Nope - just hope a passing seagull bombs 'em on the way out!

Sign of the times unfortunately.
And more disturbingly...the future of Britain.
A generation of scumbags who hold no morals or sense of responsibility because they've been brought up to believe nothing is their fault and the nasty Government will pay for their housing, food, clothing, children etc and therefore someone else will clean up their crap they leave lying around because there's no shame in littering in their world!!
