Lickszz Posted August 16, 2003 Author Share Posted August 16, 2003 There was talk about a £50 fine been introduced as law for gobbing out Chewing Gum. Not sure if it's is law yet but I expect it to. That's if enough time between the fox hunting debate and possibly more salary rises for MP's can be found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Ruscoe Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 Can't chewing gum be classed as litter anyway? That would mean you could get charged between £50 and £2500 for dropping it on the streets... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Miguel Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 When I last went round to my local shops, I couldn't help noticing the amount of chewing gum that had been trodden into the pavement area around the shops. It looks vile, is a complete eyesore and youngsters who are caught carrying out this despicable and disgusting act should be dealt with accordingly and made to clean their mess up.

Belle Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 Why dont they swallow it? Or have we been here before? AFAIK it is not poisonous - certainly never did me any harm, have swallowed it for 30 years Isnt it an old wives tale?

jackthedog Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 Only the other day I was sat waiting at a juction in the car, and I noticed the amount of chewing gum on the floor. All that day I couldnt help but notice, it is literally everywhere. Anywhere you look on the floor in any reasonably built up area, you will see chewing gum. It remains where it was dropped for ever, so if a peice has been dropped there in the past, it will be visible forever. Go outside onto the street now, wherever you are, and I bet you will see gum on the floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Miguel Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 But doesn't it seem to be more populous outside shop dooways for some reason? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackthedog Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 Yeah, it is more popular outside shop doorways. Smokers who have run out of fags chew gum as a substitute, and discard it as they enter the shop so they can spark up as soon as they come out with more fags.

Sam Miguel Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 It's like you say, once you notice it you can't help seeing it everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackthedog Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 Maybe i've put too much thought into that It'll just be the kids hanging around wont it? Or maxing, as I believe it's called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
