Agree with that, how many times have you seen a group of kids, from the small 4/5 year old to the teens eating crisps or drinking from cans or bottles whilst walking down the street. On finishing eating or drinking they have just thrown the "empties" in the gutter. Well someone else will clean it up.
As you said, we were always taught to take our rubbish home if there were no bins.
On saying that how many times have you seen articles thrown from car windows. And how many times do you see black bags or old furniture at the side of a country road, now that is something I cannot understand, why drive so far out to dump your rubbish, when we have the recycle centre on whinney hill, its open 7 days a week, and there is always someone there to lend a hand to unload your rubbish.
