The Weekly Gripe

Roadside rubbish in the UK is a disgrace

People who throw rubbish out of their car

People who dump litter

Empty beer and soft drinks cans, fag packets, crisp packets, newspapers, drinks cartons, fast food containers etc. I really wonder what goes through the mind of the person who deposits this rubbish into the verge.



Just take a quick (safe) look outside of your car next time you stop at a slip road junction or roundabout etc. Gaze into the verge and do a visual check on all the discarded items on the roadside. It's a national disgrace

16-8-2010 Litterer, if getting upset about other people's rubbish is really sad, how much sadder is it to get upset about someone commenting on something that annoys them? I think we know who needs to get a life!grumpyoldwoman
16-8-2010 Get over it sad act! It's really sad that you have nothing better to do than get upset about other peoples rubbish! Get a life lady!LITTERER
04-7-2010 Totally agree. Selfish jerks. That was a good nub-end wasted there.Ben
04-7-2010 A few months ago I was driving my mother back from a department store. The driver ahead of us threw his cigarette right under my car. Selfish jerks!Bobby
24-5-2010 Road side rubbish - I couldn't agree more with the article above, and now we are at that time of year where the verges are being cut, and the rubbish dumped on those verges is now being chopped into hundreds of pieces, wouldn't it be more prudent of the related councils to send someone out with the verge cutters to litter pick before they chop it up!!!??? What are all the offenders sentenced to Community service hours doing these days? I had friends visiting from Australia and they were appalled at the amount of litter lying around and along our main roads and now it seems the country lanes are fair game as well. I am ashamed to drive on these roads, what do we pay our taxes for these days, obviously not to keep our Great Britain great!!!Gill Waldron

16-4-2010 Being tortuously charitable, perhaps the litterers see themselves as job creationists. Or maybe not. Probably raised by pigs. One thing is certain and that is that they can't read so they won't be offended or corrected by anything written here:)Chucky Tout
12-4-2010 I remember a friend telling me of an aquaintance who, visiting Canada, was taken fishing by his friend's neighbour. When he had finished his cigarette, he dropped the 'dog end ' on the river bank and was immediately instructed to PICK THAT UP !, you are not in England now you know.Copper 3T

30-12-2009 There seems to be a coincidence with people who smoke and eat junk food being too lazy to cook clean up after themselves or find a bin , sorry if you do these things but are one of the few who do clear up after yourselves .exhasperated
17-12-2009 It's the people who leave all their rubbish on the tables at Mcdonalds, Burger-king or KFC, after eating, they just get up and go, sometimes the rubbish is piled high, to me that is sheer bone idleness.Gainsborough lad.
05-12-2009 Miserablemoaninggit- I agree with you partly but you cannot generalise everyone as scum simply because they claim benefits. Theres scum in all social classes. I have seen some kids from well to do parents who are as ill-mannered and loutish as benefit scum families. I've also met very decent people who claim benefit.Dan
