The Village Clean Up

What a gorgeous day! Sunny and warm to entice people out, despite the attractions of the rugby on television! Thank you all for coming along to care for our lovely village! It was very noticeable in some areas there was much less rubbish - that is thanks to the sterling efforts of the people who regularly walk and pick up as they go. Other lanes were just the same as always; shame on those people who don't care and chuck anything and everything from the car as they drive.
We are creatures of habit, aren't we?, well, I mean those who don't care a jot for the environment and drop their litter all over the place. In Blackers Lane I collected mainly coke cans, sweet papers and McDonald's wrappers, whereas the folk who drive down the next lane drink Red Bull and eat crisps! However, at the top of that lane is where the majority of the wine bottles and cider cans are deposited! It's a good advert for high energy drinks, too, as those cans had been lobbed high and deep into the hedges. The coke cans had been simply dropped on the edges of the lane! In the Knapp Hill area was a packet of biscuits and, discovered separately, three dinner plates! Two of which matched! Check your cupboards at home.... We may be able to find one culprit at least! The area around Soho and along the quarry was really densely littered - such a shame. I wonder if a 'Take your litter home' sign in the little car park there would make a difference?
Thank you everyone for your help!
