And is it New York where you used to see the guys with huge bags of plastic bottles collecting the refund money?
Not sure it will work here though - I still see the deposit type glass bottles just lying around - and I think they are 30p refund.
Bring back hanging for littering. After the first hanging, the problem will be solved.

Originally posted by hyperD View PostThe worse case of blatant littering was in the back of a clapped out bus with no suspension, being driven by a moron whose grasp of the laws of physics was fragile, to say the least. While being knocked around in this mobile death trap, the heat in Morocco at that time was intense, all of us simply sweated like blind lesbians in a fishmongers.
To add to our misery, one of the locals was furiously vomiting a disgusting brown liquid into a clear plastic bag, her foul brew brimming dangerously close to the top.
Much to out horror, once she had expelled the stomach Satan, she tied the bag up and dumped it unceremoniously in the middle of the bus aisle, where it madly writhed, bulged and shapeshifted, threatening to release its tormented toxic demon upon the bus's helpless captives.
I think we all prayed to Edesia that trip.

Oh, I should also mention that other deities and demigods are available.

I make a point of only dropping litter in posh areas, like Hampstead or Chelsea, in an attempt to bring down the tone of the area equal to where I live.
Seriously though, I used to live in a house on a main road with a very large hedge, so I can sympathise with others who have had to fish out beer cans. And don't get me started on low-lifes who let their dogs tulip outside your front gate.
Also, I was amazed when I went to Monaco and the streets were absolutely spotless. London looked like a rubbish tip in comparison when I got home.Last edited by SantaClaus; 27 March 2012, 23:09.

Maybe comon litter items (like tin cans) should have to have a deposit on them?
And is it New York where you used to see the guys with huge bags of plastic bottles collecting the refund money?
