Rants of the day ....

[JoM]

We took Billy over the common at the back of us tonight and had to put a fire out Only a small one but the common is now one more gorse bush short. Small fires spread though, as they do all too often over there.
Part of the common backs onto a really dodgy housing estate. I have to pass the part on the main road when I walk back from the gym at 10am and it's inhabitants are already walking around with their cans of Strong Brew. The part of the common which backs onto this estate is an eyesore, littered with cans and bottles, some broken, empty wrappers, carrier bags and chip papers. They churn up the paths with their scramblers, and they light fires. We're so lucky to have this beautiful countryside so very close to home yet they trash it and spoil it for everyone

I agree with both those rants

What a sad state of affairs Jo.

I know I'm a boring old fart saying this but every time I come back to the UK I'm blown away by just how lovely the countryside is.
What a shame those eejits don't realise the damage they're doing to a genuinely lovely part of the world.

I agree with your sentiments, Ally, but not with your 'boring old fart' description.

Anyone who has met you will know that is grossly untrue.
