I always put things in the bin. Sometimes I'll catch myself drop stuff on the floor or in a bush but I'll pick it up and find a bin.

I was on my dinner hour and I threw a chip wrapper on the floor and the community support officers shouted me back and I got a £75 for throwing it.

I was genuinely shocked, and they said to me "well at least you won't do it again". I still do it, purposely sometimes because I'm honestly that immature purely because I couldn't believe they fined me £75 for it when I've stated about the mobile phones and driving. I'm just more aware now and rather than looking for a bin, I look for a green jacket to see if a community officer is there.
Honestly, you should be ashamed.
Why carry on dropping litter, you should of learnt you lesson.
And your not getting back at the men, your 'revenge' effects everyone else.
Nope, the only lesson learnt was that the council or the government or whoever created these fineing laws need to get their priorities sorted ... £75 for a chip wrapper, £30 for a potential life ...

And don't tell me I should be ashamed ... like I've said, a wrapper on the floor is hardly my area's main concern. And like I also said, I know it's not the point, I know it's the wrong attitude etc, etc.

If I lived in a nice place then I wouldn't litter but as I live in a horrible place, I don't see the point.

I agree about the laws, but then you can drive a tractor at 16, and a car at 17! Thats silly as well if you ask me, a tractor can cause more damage than a car.

But on topic, at least you see its wrong, but please dont drop litter again. If everyone dropped litter, like Kiz said, think where we would be.

"If I lived in a nice place then I wouldn't litter but as I live in a horrible place, I don't see the point."

If people, like you, did not drop litter and took some pride in where they lived then thing may improve. Whilst you treat is like a **** hole it always will be.

I bet it gets really annoying.

On the side, still no sound from PS

But you do as you have pride. Of course if you moved to Rutland you would never see any litter as it has not been invented there yet.

Where I live litter is generally OK. It isn't like walking through a dump but there are the odd bits of litter about. There are places near me which include long walks with no bins around. If I'm walking down one of those and its either freezing or my hands are full, the last thing I am going to do is cart an empty coke can down the road until I reach the nearest bin.

You not got gloves? If your hands are so full you you can't carry an empty can, then how the hell did you manage with a full one in the first place? Excuses.

What would you say to someone who threw a can in your garden as they walked by? There hands may be cold too. I take it you would be cool with that?

No. I dont wear gloves. I hate them. And its perfectly possible yo buy one before you buy other stuff, and your hands get fuller whilst you have it with you. Its possible not to pass a bin.

I agree with you. After school I'll go to the shop and buy a drink, when lately it's been cold, and I'll carry the can all the way home to put it in the bin. There isn't a bin on the route I take.

I'm very echo-friendly so I would.

Say if you buy other stuff, surely they come in a bag, could you not put it in their?
And like I just said, a can of coke isn't exactally huge is it?

It would be funny if they did because there is a bin at the end of my street, and the street isn't that big. I'm on about where there are no bins!

But like I have said, is it really much to carry your litter where there are no bins?

Nope, I would just have more important things to carry which I've already mentioned. Hands full and all that If my hands are not full then I probably would wait until I see a bin.

Ok, so tell us what you are carrying. I suspect them come in packaging, could you not just put it in their?
What about put the can in a pocket, or simply just hold it?

4 bags in each hand and your pockets are too small. There is a little bit left that could leak out over your stuff.
