Well done Derek. I often feel like tackling litter louts, and have done in the past, but people today are so aggressive, it really makes you think twice. That's another gripe, rudeness. Please and thank you don't exist in some people vocabulary - and bad language. Well I could go on and on. There seems to be no end to my ranting at the moment must be tired, it's been a long day.
well done derek. I dread my OH seeing some one and telling the what he thinks.
Still on rubbish, sort of, when it was windy earlier in the year our recycling bins were blown over. I spent a while collecting my crop all down the road. my neigbour was leaving for work early in the moring when i was ptting the recycling bin out. his bin was on its side in his front garden. He stepped over it! he actually stepped over it and got in his car. did he tink the bin men were there to sort it or is wife woul dbe out or what? any pride in the house youve bought for your family? no?!
A local supermarket is next to a senior school, the kids go over get a pie and drink then sit on the flower beds eating and throwing rubbish around almost next to a litter bin. One of the trolley collectors, once a manager who does the job to get out and meet people remonstrated with them as I walked to my car, they turned on him being quite aggressive, they had not seen the bin wagon parked at the back of the car park. Seconds later three very large bin men were standing beside them and they rapidly cleaned the area one of them a bit mouthy getting a clip that funnily no one saw. It was reported to the school and they now get their pie and go back to the school field, that looks like the local tip. My grandsons school is very hot on litter and it shows, the fields are spotless and they pick up automatically, early training by parents and school does the trick.
Don't you just lurve kids? And I spent my life with the darlings! They gave me the best and worst moments of my life! Amazingly, I rather miss them now...Not that much, though - I still give thanks every morning for my freedom.
Talk about people leaving rubbish about hows this,, when we were in Cornwall we went for a drive to the seal sanctuary and on the way i took the coastal route which in parts gets along side the very end of beautiful water inlets and there in one was a 30 foot old cruiser having seen much better days and resting on its but on the thick mud, access to the craft was on a scaffold board to where the fishermen sat in style fishing!! on a huge old leather green settee, how they got it onto the craft i don't know but they had and it looked so funny people were stopping to photo it ,now that's recycling at its best so this time im not moaning
Now there's something I don't want to rant about. I just love recycling, to the point where people probably think I live in poverty or am slightly mad. (No comments, please!) I buy grotty old houses every time and do them up. I keep things nobody else would keep and try to do something with them. If the garden centre has sad-looking plants, I have to buy them and try to revive them. I shop on ebay. In fact, I like renovating old things so much that even try to paint and renovate myself.
well i do recycle up to a point but the thing is where i live which gives me a rant is that i pass loads of recycling bins outside houses all stacked up it looks a right state especially when the gulls are screeming and diving in the bins which then are all over the road why dont people keep there bins out of sight untill bin day baffles me
