Re: Why such dirty streets

We had rellies over from Oz a month ago and I was embarassed for them to see the state of the town centre. If you tell people(even politely) that they have dropped litter, you are likely to get a mouthful of abuse or maybe even worse.
It boils down to lack of parental control....you can see quite young children eating a pasty in town and throwing their paper bag on the floor....parents don't check them......like it is someone else's job to clean up their mess....the kids don't know any different do they?
