I've just been out and picked up the rubbish in the street, something I do periodically, even though the good citizens of Leicester are experts at creating more. A car pulled up and a man shouted 'Oi, are you picking up rubbish?' 'Yes' I said - I could hardly deny it as I was just straightening up from having picked up a selection of condom packaging and face masks, even though he sounded a bit aggressive. 'I'm sorry mate, I've just dropped that out of the car' he said, pointing at a tissue on the pavement. 'I dunno what came over me, I hate littering normally.' That was interesting - it sounded like he'd just chucked his rubbish out of the window, and then seeing me clearing up, had a change of heart. I wonder if he'll be a reformed character in future and stop throwing his refuse out of the car? It's impressive what a difference you can make just doing simple stuff.
