When the sun shines, and the temperature rises to around 20 C, Londoners will swarm to the beach by the tens of thousands.
Unfortunately they leave all their rubbish behind. The remnants of late night revelling were everywhere. I didn't photograph the worst of it; just some on the actual beach.
Mucky buggers!
so sad. At least Billy enjoys a place.
ReplyDeleteHe went up to his elbows in the water, along with two others that he met down there.
DeleteThat's a lot of rubbish. I presume someone comes along and picks it all up. Depressing sight for your early morning walk. City slickers go home
ReplyDeleteI expect all the restaurants, bars, shops, etc, have an army of cleaners who would soon have it all clean again quite quickly, but what a shame that the mess is there at all.
DeleteThat's disgusting behaviour.
ReplyDeleteWho do they think has to clear up after them? Then again, they probably don't have the capacity to think.
Having seen the amount of people coming from the station, I suppose it's not surprising that they leave SOME mess; but this was dreadful.
DeleteDirty devils …. When our children were little their pockets were always full of rubbish …. We always told them to bring all rubbish home with them and instilled it in them from an early age. XXXX
ReplyDeleteA different age, Jacqueline. I was taught the same, but such things are now seen as old fashioned.
DeleteGross. Dislike their dirty habits, but hope that the council employs some cleaners to kero the seaside tidy.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it would have been cleaned quite quickly; the local business people would see to that.
DeleteNice photo of Billy on the beach.
ReplyDeleteHe went in up to his elbows.
DeleteNot my job to clean up after myself. People are paid to do that.
ReplyDeleteThat sadly is the attitude of the modern youf.
DeleteAndrew, shame on you!
DeleteYour umpteenth birthday is coming up in July. Why not ask Lady Magnon for a litter picker, rubber gloves and some heavy duty rubbish bags?
ReplyDeleteI did say to Lady M that we should have taken a litter bag, but I would hardly have known where to start.
DeleteDisgusting behavior. Such a lovely area spoiled for the next round of visitors. I'm sure it will be cleaned up, but how sad that someone has to be paid to do it when people could simply deposit their own trash in the bins to begin with.
ReplyDeleteAnd there are loads of bins everywhere too!
DeleteThere always are.
DeleteA couple of times a year, the students in our school's Environmental Club will don orange safety vests and pick up litter up and down the highway in front of the campus. I've always admired the science teacher who oversees the club for organizing it. All kids should take part in things like that. Maybe then they would grow up to be adults who thought twice about tossing trash on the ground!
ReplyDeleteA lot of younger children do that here, as well as a lot of older people. It seems to be those in the middle who are the mucky ones!
DeleteTossed litter shows no consideration for others. Not a particularly nice characteristic. Do people no longer care? One year our youth soccer field was littered with dog poop. Despite requests for dog owners to pick up, the town had to hire people to clean the field so the youth could play. So much for leading by example...
ReplyDeleteI recently witnessed (from my car) a man with a dog that pooped on a football pitch, and simply walked away. I was furious, but there was nothing I could do about it.
DeleteHere we have two people, neighbors, ironically, who walk their dogs out of their yard to the grassy berm between the sidewalk and the road way, to let their dogs poop. After months of this, the area is disgusting and smells terribly.
DeleteI had forgotten what trashy streets look like. In NZ for some reason it is so much cleaner; or maybe we just don't have enough people to make such a mess. I even went to my letter box and found a soft drink can ensconced there! At least it wasn't on the floor. There are very few litter bins in my town.
ReplyDeleteJo in Auckland
I think it was the combination of a holiday, being away in another city, and no doubt lots of alcohol, that makes people behave this way.
DeleteWhenever I see such messes I wonder if those people do the same in their own homes.
ReplyDeleteHate, hate litter, dog mess and quite often people. What is wrong with these morons. One if my early walks, with dog, takes me to a lovely field overlooking hills and moors. I collect rubbish, leave it by the bench, another dig walker carries it from there to the bin. We even pick up other dogs messes.
