Fly tipping is bread and butter for Travellers/gypsies in the building trade.

Adur District Council started to charge likewise a year or so ago..I think they were forced to withdraw it ..not sure how it stands now...also they have restricted the hours my local ‘tip’ is closed Monday and Tuesday with shorter hours on the days they are open..and as from September household waste will be collected fortnightly instead of weekly .....

Thats my local tip as well (next to B&Q). I got caught out earlier this year trying to dump a load of garden waste on the Monday without realising it was shut. I had to drive around with a car full of branches, ivy and hedge trimmings till the Wednesday when I could finally dump it all off. It absolutely STUNK the car out.
Sake.

in East Sussex too. i have a couple bags of soil, contemplating if i pay the £8 or drop it in a ditch. i wont of course, after refusing to pay i'll get fed up with the sight and take to the tip in a mood. have to pay for garden waste bin too, think paving over the garden might solve that issue.

You get a lot of creepy crawlies in the car as well, I've had a massive ******* spider jump on me while driving, two days after going to the tip

Yep. I had a couple of snails mincing around under the back seat, and some woodlicey-type things. A right pain in the 'arris.

I have to drop it, otherwise it burns my fingers.
As long as you drop it into an ashtray or bin, that's fine. If you just drop it on the street, then you're a selfish ****

Righto, I have seen the errors of my ways and realise that I am filth.
I will try my best from now on.
Joking of course but to be fair, the accumulation of butts on the pavements outside pubs and offices is just awful, and that is from an expert smoker.
Exactly. It really is disgusting. I don't understand why so many smokers don't see it as littering.
I was walking along a pavement a couple of weeks and this guy flicked his lit cigarette butt right off me and in to the road without looking. I give him an earful and he did at least apologise, but I'm willing to bet it hasn't made him change his ways.
It's the same with chewing gum. Why can't people take a bit of pride in their surroundings?

In Spain there is absolutely no need to dispose of old appliances, or anything, this way. Our area will collect anything twice a week from outside your house, household rubbish collected 3 times a week and we have a local 'limpio' where you may take anything to dispose of f.o.c., they even help you unload it. I just don't understand the UK councils attitude, all it does is encourage fly tipping.

This was obvious beforehand, thick as shite Wealden DC and Kent CC arrogantly bringing in charges for dumping hard core with them at their recycling sites.
BBC SE covered this last week, the amount of hard core being dumped down country lanes and on farms has grown hugely in the last year in areas under those councils.

While we’re on the fag theme does anyone remember the classic announcement made at cinemas (Odeon/ABC?) in the 1970s that advised :
“For patrons who do not wish to smoke seats on the right hand side of the auditorium have been designated as no smoking areas.”
Cough! Splutter! Wheeze! Gasp!

Chewing gum I totally agree with as it is very expensive to clean off the pavement and it looks awful.
Mrs Chopper used to work for Wrigley in marketing, they tried there very best to stop it and at one point they were going to get charged for it if I remember correctly.
Litter is not good but at least unlike chewing gum it can be swept up.
Do it or spit in Singapore and you will get 10 lashes.

I really hope that you guys are not watching neighbours from hell on ITV at the moment, I just channel hopped into it and it was all about fly tipping, a mattress was thrown into a neighbours front garden!
If you want your piss to boil watch it or record it on +1.
Back to fags, we have mentioned pubs and offices but is there a worse or sadder site than patients outside the front of a hospital, with a huge no smoking sign, still in their dressing gowns and attached to drips, puffing away and throwing the butts on the pavement.
