I was once leaning on my car at a petrol station watching a bloke happily opening a packet of fags, throwing the cellophane wrapper and the silver foil out of the window of his car. He smiled at me and said "all right mate?" to which I said "Yep, just watching you littering the place!" Obvs his face changed and the F off etc came out the scrote's gob.
Thought later I should just have picked it up and thrown it into the back of his car saying, "I think you left this behind, mate."

I think the mums of the seventies made the littering worse as they wouldn't tell kids not to throw wrappers etc on the floor but only request that the little darlings refrain from doing it.
My kids used to come home with their litter stuffed in their pockets because they were under threat of being, shall we say, 'punished' for leaving a mess.
Kids today, and their parents, think nothing of just dropping everything they are finished with on the pavement, even bags of McDonalds rubbish flung out of car windows, we're fighting a loosing battle because they think it's normal to litter unlike the older generation who feel guilty even dropping a matchstick.

This whole fuel price thing is a scam. Retailers putting the price up, forcing the gov to reduce tax.. fuel companies keep their profit margins, everyone else loses out

I'm off in the van to Ireland in three weeks, thing is, shall I fill up now (25galls) or leave it and see if price drops ?

Bought 15 galls last year because it kept going up and guess what ? price came down again :mad:

Afternoon folks:)

We is all back from our jaunt to a new town (to us):).
Its really nice loads of nautical bits an bobs in the bars/restaurant's including boats:eek: which is strange as its right in the the country. Quick goggle over brecky shows a river route to the Danube.
Had a good walk around in the afternoon very nice, but to many up and down roads and steps for me;).
Watched the light show, Very clever:). We paid to get a little narration at the beginning and the music. We were staying in the Hotel you can see but may not have heard the music.
But it was an enjoyable day/night away:D.

Weather couldn'tmake up its feckin mind today.
Shoppin day, so din't bovva with the market as we have plenty of pork and cheese, so Off to by more "pondeuse" for the hens then to Leclerc for norml type stuff.
Then to friends, one couple, delivered eggs there and congratulated them on what they have done so far to their new house.
Quick visit to others where we dropped off a new cardy for the lady as the one we got her for Xmas was too small!
Then to a new couple (eggs there too) who had us inside for a coffee and a natter. They are Chtis so were bound to be lovely, which they are. Bloke's a real good DIYer which may come in handy. Was a painter/decorator by trade but is dead handy as we could tell from the stuff they have already done in the new-to-them house.
They were telling us that agents nowadays charge 8 to 12% and lawyers 10%.
No fuckin wonder the frogs don't move house often.:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
Also interesting to natter to a retired "trade" about the costs of materials. He was saying that over the past coupla years paint has gone up by at least 150%. :eek::eek::eek::eek:
Glad our place is nearly finished and the French do still allow you to bring in up to €300 worth of building etc materials in for a second home. (Thanks again feckin Brexit:mad:)
Tacos for dins tonite!!!:):):):):)
Have a lovely evening folks.
:):):):):)

We taught all of our boys to either put the litter in their own pockets or give it to us. Strangely, this wasn't something their friends parents insisted on.
I recently walked behind 2 late-20's guys with an obvious younger brother of about 13 with them just finish their "slurpies" and throw the detritus onto the pavement as they walked on. Ahead (not 20 yards away) was a litter bin.
I mentioned it was a bad example to be setting and got a mouthful of abuse and angry eyeing. I just shrugged, shook my head and said "not good, guys" and walked home.

An that's what really grinds my gears. No shame, no regret, no sense of responsibility.
Are they just entitled assholes, peeps who feel society owes them summink, or disenfranchised no hopers..
None of which is good.
