I agree totally with your comments. My family too would never throw litter on the streets but I'm afraid it all goes back to the parents, kids tend to do as others, including parents do. I watched an asian woman and her 3 kids leaving Mc Donalds in Blackburn dropping bags and boxes everywhere in the street. I informed her that she and her kids seemed to have dropped something, she looked and then replied.... "Oh no it is rubbish". After I pointed out the rubbish bin no more than 2 metres from her she still ignored the litter and carried on about her business. How can we expect the kids to have pride in the country if the parents have none.
