Seeing as though our council along with many others are "getting tough" on people littering and issuing on the spot fines, has anybody else noticed where huge amounts of the litter on the streets is coming from?

The other week I followed one of those git big wagons with an open container full of litter on it's back down from Durham to Hartlepool on the back road through yakkersville.

It was depositing litter out of the top of the container all the way down the road at the rate of about 5 items PER SECOND.

Earlier this week I followed a similar vehicle along Brenda Road on it's way to the landfill at Seaton Meadows. Similar story.

Now if the council are gonna fine ordinary folk, which by the way I don't have a major issue with, then surely they should be hammering these companies and wagon drivers with a similar £60 fine for EVERY SINGLE piece of rubbish which comes off their truck?

Is grass cuttings classed as rubbish? There's loads of that everywhere.

It's on my way to work you rarf.

Only if you or I leave it lying around.

The council and their employees seem to be allowed to chuck it around wherever they feel like.

Mr Groovy Crimes is our resident expert on such matters

And if joe public (rightly so) get find for letting their dog shyt in the street without the owner picking up said shyt in little plaggy bag,

how come we don't see the old bill shovelling horse shyt into bags then?

the dog would have to shit for a week to equal one horse shite. Our dog has very rigid toilet habits. He would only ever drop his batch on the outside flat roof when we were in the pub. Now he only ever goes in the same corner of the yard
He can be outside with us all day walking somewhere, and he'll wait until we get home!!!!!
