Hmm,............ read your abbreviation as 'piano keys' Duh....I got rid of a knackered old upright piano by taking it apart, breaking up the wooden parts that weren't worth keeping and topping up the bin before collection day over a few weeks. The cast iron string frame was too big for that, I had to take it to the dump. When I got there a gang of p*keys appeared from nowhere and had it out of the back of my estate car as soon as I opened the tailgate
If you want to see discarded rubbish come and have a look at our beaches here in Bournemouth after a sunny day. It's disgusting - disposable barbecues, plastic bottles, cans, bags of faeces, plastic food wrappers, carrier bags, nappies, it's worse than Glastonbury, only we get it every week throughout the summer. I've lived here for 45 years and it never used to be like this. Why can't people take their litter home?
Ouch!
No excuse for that!
No, it's all cleared up by the council. I can think of better uses for my council tax.
Agree, but at least they will be disposed off responsibly. Whoever Coined the term "national waste" is on the money here.
Your absolutely correct- unfortunately although modern technology has expanded the we live and interact the common sense, good behaviour, and respect for the environment, animals and of course each other is long gone . lives can be taken and snubbed out , while not wanting to jump on the (young) a hell of a lot of this type of crime is committed by teenagers and young men and women. It’s sickening to constantly hear of these attacks and deaths just because they feel a sense of entitlement to behave in the way they do . It does make the subject of littering quite trivial but it’s all linked imo..
As a young lad I’ll never forget those adverts of a angry farmer cursing the couple that left all their pick nick rubbish in his field and then left the gate open - showing my age but it’s stuck with me for years- and the times I’ve seen a group in a car at mackys or kfc then just throw the rubbish onto the car park even though the bin is 3 ft away .
Agree on the young(ish) offenders, just seems like there is a lot of internal anger and resentment about something that manifests into a blow out and causes damage everywhere - life or otherwise.
Because its too much trouble and why should i shift mine they left thiers Education, Education, Education
Yes a young mind is like a sponge ready to absorb but it takes an educated mind to absorb the right information, I’d say the lack of a farther figure and other positive role models also comes into play but I had neither. at 14-15 I went off the rails , got in trouble a few times with the law but what put me straight was the look of absolute disappointment in my moms eyes and I changed my ways there and then . I’ve worked and earned my money ever since -honesty being the best policy. I think far too many people are severely influenced by celebrities and the richer people of this world that flaunt their wealth and the current culture of reality tv and of course utube . Far too many want this lifestyle but don’t want to put the effort in to earn it they just take what’s yours and will go above and beyond to get it .
Rember the days when pop was in glass bottles and you got money back on empties great little earner for the kids , A couple of weeks ago we had our carnival in the beer tent you paid a £1 for a rigid plastic glass with the logo "please reuse me" on it and at the end of the week you got your £1 back if you returned it , the granddaughter was given 10 glasses on the night so made £10 quid over the week she was given over 50odd glasses and no sights like above . I still think the onus should be put on the vendors/manufactures to pay towards the cleanup or find alternative packaging Rant over just looking after my new home town
Good point well made.
I used to do this back in the day as I lived very close to dunstall racecourse. I’d come home with a pocket full of change and and the odd £1 note ( very rare in 1978) but it was pocket money and worth the effort.
Wow. Didn't know there was a £1 note. Rarest denomination I ever saw was a £50 note! My first day in the country and I gave that to the bus driver at the airport, never seen a man more confused!
