[QUOTE=garinda]After a bomb that sadly killed people was planted in a bin at Victoria station they were all removed from indoor places. That wasn't such a pain, because you can't smoke in any station or tube./QUOTE]
Whilst waiting in Rome airport for 8 hours last month, noticed no litter bins to dispose of our sandwich wrappers,etc. Asked an official this and after much thought she explained had all been taken away due to security reasons and just to leave it wherever. Did appear to be cleaners coming round regularly, but still looked a mess.
I could sorta' understand the logic of this, but puzzled me why our Airports, with our high sensitivity to security did not do this ? It must have been considered and over-ridden. Any ideas why, therefore, to have them, than not.?
Did notice last year that Manchester city centre had taken away a great number of their ash-tray top litter bins, and thought was a scheme for a good little earner from cigarette smokers; seem to be coming back now though.
This thread prompted me to have a leisurely stroll round Accy centre yesterday, and must admit all the cigarette butts don't enhance the streets at all, along, of course, with all the sweet papers, etc.
I haven't dropped a cigarette end in the street for a long time now (miss goodey-two shoes). Sometimes I wait for it to extinguish completely and then put in the bin, other times, dock it and put in handbag. My favourite method now is to take my own portable ash-tray, which was a stocking filler one Christmas from my daughter. Worth its weight in gold
This latter solution could be difficult for men of course .. no Garinda not going to say the obvious to you, think you have enough to contend with from yer mates ... tee hee.
