    Organisers of such events should have to clear up all mess created or face heavy fines.

    I agree @KT53, but there's no one to follow up round here because most of the time, there's hardly anyone here. I have considered picking it all up, bagging it and dumping it on the doorstep of the farmer who hosts it. He's got a very large dog though, and a wife with a nasty temper so I've not been brave enough yet

    Maybe time to call on the RSPB and other countryside organisation to get it stopped @raisingirl.  They must be disturbing all sorts of ground dwelling wildlife, not just birds.

    Local Easter hols started this weekend so, even tho the forecast is good for the coming week we shall stay away from the coast, just 20kms away.  It'll be heaving and they won't be wearing masks in shops and crowded spots.  That's OK tho as we have plenty to do in the garden now.

    @raisingirl there is the potential for councils to use littering laws if 'stuff' is just left laying around and blows into adjoining properties.  Getting them to act may be a different matter.

    Laws? Have you ever seen the police clear up their 'police incident' tape? It's left tied to hedges and things for weeks around here after some chav has driven his Corsa through there.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    A Ukrainian lady gave Boris a ceramic cockeral as a symbol of Ukrainian resistance. Maybe we could make this tradition and everywhere he goes people could give him more of them to remind him he's a useless puffed up little cock. :)

    The cynic in me wonders if he dropped Sunak in the pooey stuff and ran away.

    Of course he did ... it's typical schoolboy japes isn't it 🙄

    The only problem with your suggestion @wildedges is that it seems a shame to tarnish the valiant Ukranian cockerel with any connection to the odious Boffle.

    The cockerel is also the emblem of the worlds greatest football team.
    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team
