[SHY TED]

I just read this in the Star.

 

SIX smokers have been fined for dropping cigarettes in Chesterfield and a seventh for dropping a cellophane wrapper.

It certainly isn't the first time that folks in Chesterfield have been fined for spreading litter in this way. I don't know if Sheffield Council has a similar policy. Should they?

[Agent Orange]

They do indeed fine people for littering here in Sheffield, and rightly so. It's a filthy thing to do!

It's true, there's enough bins around.

 

I hate it when someone is stood next to a bin and just throws the litter the opposite way?

[trail master]

Littering in any form is wrong and a bad example to the young ones.I am glad to hear any councill is taking a hard line on it.

[Berberis]

And so they should, but the councils should provide more litter bins also. Im not sure if its connected but ever since the IRA days and especially in London, bins have been few and far between especially in train stations.

mmm, after 9/11 loads more disappeared, but i've seen new ones appearing, and in some odd places!

Why not just take your rubbish home.

They should clamp down on folks who chuck tab ends and other litter out of car windows.

[poppins]

In the old days, we always put tab ends in our pockets, smoked them too when we ran out of fags.

Chesterfield smokers fined? Surely such penalties should apply to the smokers of all brands?
