I saw three bits yesterday.
First went to buy some Minky clothes pegs from The Range. But every tub of them had the selophane top punctured and pegs removed to presumably top up the tub people had chosen to buy.
Second I went to pick up my son from the station and popped into Morrisons first. As I had just gone in some overweight middle aged bloke starting legging it out with two full bags and an alarm going off behind him. He was going pretty slow due to his and the shopping weight. He was chased even slower by a middle aged Morrisons woman. I thought she either won't catch him or be able to stop him anyway. I fleetingly thought about going to help her but didn't in that split second. Should I have?
I then took that thought into my third instance. Drove to the station car park which was very full. I managed to get a space. But couple of minutes later the roads round the car park became grid locked. Cars were hooting. I got out of the car to wait for my son and could see some bloke sitting in his car in the road effectively just waiting but blocking the traffic. Perhaps cos of two above I decide to tell him he shouldn't stay there. He was blocking the way and cars were queued back to the entrance. He wasn't having it. Saying a car could get past him etc. 5 minutes later my son turned up and he was still there. I said you have to move now mate. He said get a poiliceman. I wanted to kick his car. But didn't.
How much should we get involved in this sort of stuff? Should we just stand aside cos it's not worth the aggro? I probably only said something to that guy cos I weighed him up physically which maybe shouldn't be a factor either but it is. |  |

That's because you're getting older and people look back on the past with rose tinted specs. |
I think that’s true Herbie. I can remember conversations with my mum where I used to say the world changes and quite often for the better. Like no poor houses and a health service and better homes and toilets not in the back garden. But she used to say how as a kid she left her bike outside a friends house by accident over night and it was still there the next day (in Yarmouth that is).
Maybe the moral compass of people has deteriorated. | |

Was walking towards my local shop last autumn when a youngish chap threw his rubbish out of his car window onto the pavement. I saw red, unusually for me, and promptly threw it back into his car.
Let’s just say words were exchanged and he got rather annoyed when I stood my ground, arms folded smiling at him. Once he realised his mate wasn’t going to get out of the car as well, I got another gob full of abuse and they duly drove off.
Now I wouldn’t have done it as a rule, but it boiled my piss at the time. Detest littering. |
Bloke was visiting next door to me but his car was in front of my house. On leaving, he threw a pile of rubbish out from his car onto the pavement. He didn't drive off straight away as he was sorting something out. That gave me time to get out of the house, pick up the crap and chuck it into his car onto his lap. Think he was so shocked that he just drove away without a word. I was expecting my car to be got after that but so far so good. |  | | |

My view, don't get involved, you never know what the person is capable of doing, unfortunately this type of behaviour is becoming more common in all walks of life and we all need to just walk away. |
yep, definitely the best view in my opinion. | |

These days the A12 for example is full of Mc Donalds bags and ten tonne of other crap.
I will say that dog sh1t isn't as prevalent but litter was no where as bad as it is now.
And how the hell would you know, you weren't even there. |
Talking of Mcds.
I went for a winters mooch round the bad lanes of Benters in February,we are always getting loads of Mcds bags hoofed out of the vehicles those or Costa cups,anyhow I found a bag of Mcds which had been lobbed out of a vehicle,the receipt was there.
It basically had taken less than an hour for the said person to purchase it from a Mcds on the A12 and lob it out of their vehicle,and I do think it’s a good idea to print the number plate of the purchaser on the receipt.
Having said that last year in Benters we had a real spate of fly tipping,in the said rubbish were letters from a said person in Crackers,when the person who found the rubbish reported it to the police,they were told just because it’s has all the same address and persons name of the letters etc,doesn’t mean the said person dumped it.
Crazy times. |  |

In my late teens, when I still lived in Ipswich and with my parents I used to go out regularly and my mum used to say ‘be careful, it’s not like it was twenty years ago. Ipswich isn’t safe’.
Fast forward twenty years later and I was visiting my parents and my niece just popped round to say hello before going out only for my mum to say ‘be careful, it’s not like it was twenty years ago….’
Think every generation believes that places were always safer when they were younger. It’s in total bollox really. |  | | |

Littering is nowhere near as bad now as it was when I was a kid. At school we used to go litter picking and we'd come back with tons and tons of the stuff, now when I walk down the street there's barely any litter to be seen. |
Try Birmingham. | | | |

Drive throughs should have to print the reg number on all the packaging. Lazy, scruffy little scrotes need to be made to take responsibility for their actions.
Litter would be one of my top priorities for a government. It's broken window theory - sort the small stuff and standards start to rise. [Post edited 16 Apr 20:39]
