OMG that made me chuckle I did it at home the other day

I emptied the ashtray but one of the cigarettes was still smouldering I had to go running into the garden with a smoking bin

i told a young woman off a few months ago ,for letting her dog fowl the pavement.the language she used would have shamed an irish navvie....i dont know what i'd have done if she had set the dog on me it was a great big boxer ,still i felt better for letting her know..

Well at least there are bins on the streets which is more than can be said for the platforms at train stations. Removed for security reasons leaving the tracks looking worse than the Whinney Hill tip.

I dont like seeing ciggies flying out of car windows either had a bad experience once when a bloke flung one out and it came into my car through the window, talk about panic, I mangaged to pull over and threw it out myself

but my concern was Ellie was only little and it just missed her!

In the far off days when we were young, my hubby used to ride a motorbike and we had a very scary experience when someone threw a cigarette end out of a car window and it ended up in hubby's scarf that went between his helmet and leathers......we were very lucky not to have had an accident......as it happened he just had a fag burn in his scarf.

Well done Grego, it is time these litter louts were stopped. Accrington town centre looks like a litter bin with empty drink cans and bottles and discarded paper bags that have held Gregg's pies. It makes me feel ashamed.

When there are litter bins so handy it amazes me that people will just drop their rubbish on the floor. It makes me wonder what their homes must be like. If we are out and have left over rubbish (paper bags, drinks cans or whatever) then we hold onto them until we find a bin. It isn't difficult.

Hmmm, I have just had a similar experience to Grego on Annie St this afternoon. I was walking my dog behind 2 young girls, late teens I reckon. One of them was holding a can of D & B in her hand along with her mobile phone. I overtook them and continued to walk in front. A few yards along, I heard the can hit the ground. I spun round and said "did you just throw that can?" (it was a few feet away from them). They both denied it, even though the can was missing from her hand and the offending can in the road was D & B. I had a minor rant about how people like them are responsible for the country being such a tip.......and I continued to walk the dog.

One was about 5'6''-5'8'' gangly with shoulder length blond hair (the one who was holding the can in the first place). The other was about 5'4"/5'5" chunky with long brown hair, they were both as rough as robbers dogs, and walked down Thorneyholme Rd towards Laneside. So if anyone knows these 2..... Give em a slap....

Be careful, Lettie...............you could get locked up for inciting violence and then all these women would have to have their babies without your help.

Hehehe, do you think that anyone will actually suss who they are from my description? Bear in mind that 'rough as a robbers dog' doesn't really give much away...

Don't worry Lettie I am sure you will be delivering their babies before long. When you do make sure you forget to turn the gas and air on
