That's sounds so gangsta.

What would your mafia name be?

Marky 'The Mark' B, or Bolam Gambino, or Our Little Cousin Transitor.

I sit at motorway junctions looking at the litter. I want to build a flail/collector/bailer,  hand pick stuff like tyres, signs, car bumpers and bottles of piss then suck the shit up, bail it and send it to an incinerator!  Probably collect glass and ally can first too? Flail collectors exist, bailers/compactors exist, night work and hand pick first! Boom! **************** all money in it though!

Good on Tom and good on you Les! Long may it continue and hope he gets due recognition and recompense!

Transit and Fiesta are full of crap until clearout because I won’t ever have crap chucked out.

 

Back in the day I used to check transits that had been issued to the troop of subbies engaged by gangmasters for our work. I decided to charge the said gangs for my time emptying their rubbish.

 

No backing from the bosses who wallowed in the profits made for them by these utility  workers would teach me a lesson, they would put  their rubbish back into the orange plastic bags from the local express mini market and chuck it out in the lane leading back to the yard. I soon decided it was better for the environment for me to clean the trucks when they were in the yard.

Not bringing the mood down, but it is disgusting Les that your lad has to pick up litter.

 

What the actual f is wrong with people?

 

Tufty Club was 50 years ago.

Everyone is an eco-warrior.

 

We’ve got a great bunch of young un’s in our own very village who do the same, but it’s disheartening to see the black bags of crap pile up.

 

I really, really hate litter.

I have broken 2 windscreens this year of people who don’t share my views, one on a garage forecourt with full cctv.

 

One was a traveller, but that could be coincidence.

The other was a similar shitbag who didn’t fancy getting out of the venice when I went full ‘litter mental’ mode.

Agree 100%. There is no excuse, ever. there is literally a litter bin on every street corner these days. 

I remember a long time ago taking my nieces (around 5-6 years old) and their mate out to the cinema. Stopped off at maccy ds on the way home. Their mate asked to wind the window of the car down, I asked why "To throw the rubbish out" "Why would you do that". "Its what you do so the car doesnt get dirty"

I bought him a toy litter picker for Christmas a few years ago Mark and it's something that he took to. He does 2 local Parks through the week helping out the ground s man and gets a free lunch for his time.
