Dumped on


The annual litter-pick in our village.  And the annual musing of why some people think it's OK to use verges as linear refuse tips.

What exactly goes through someone's mind when they hurl rubbish into the countryside?  Maybe that's a stupid question, as surely if they were thinking at all  they wouldn't do it.   Or maybe I'm naive...

We collected several bags' full of rubbish on just a small stretch of road out of the village.  

Some of the things we recovered:-

    Two bottles of banana-flavoured milk, but unopened.  

    A pair of pants (black, size large).

    A single shoe, almost new.

We also picked up over two dozen empty Gordon's gin and tonic mixer cans, all crushed in the same way and thrown randomly on a long stretch of verge.

Clearly someone has been regularly using the road while necking the contents and then tossing the can out of the window. 

Let's hope it was a passenger and not the driver.
