Particularly loving your comments Washerwoman gransruleok and Pudding123. I think it’s time we all manned/womaned-up and approached the litter-droppers; politely. Sadly there would no doubt be some abuse but many offenders just don’t realise that they are offending.
However, I do fear that the teams of litter-pickers are often being counter-productive, particularly when they are seen to be laughing and joking and seemingly having a good time. A significant number of litter-droppers don’t realise they are volunteers, particularly if they are professionally kitted out with high visibility waistcoats, grabbers and bags. I’ve even heard that many think they are actually helping to provide employment for litter-pickers, whether volunteers or paid employees. Surely cutting out the need for a little-picking economy and all its attendant services is something that needs to be addressed …..
