I now live in Canada and when people visit the first thing they comment on is how clean everything is. When I go home (my family now live in B/burn The first thing is I notice is how dirty everything is. People seem not have pride in their communities, kids think nothing of throwing their rubbish on the floor, still side step around the dog **** and just generally don't care. I think it is sad that particularly children are not raised with that sense of pride. My 4 kids would not dream of throwing anything on the floor, when in England they are amzed that people do not poop and scoop. This is not meant to offend I am just curious as to why. I love coming home, I will always be a Lancashire lass. When I was home last I asked some of the kids on my Mum's street to clean it up, they would only do it if they were paid, they said that they didn't care how it looked. Not their problem were there words.
