But for all he knows my dad could be dead, ill in hospital, disabled ect.

Its a tt1sh thing to have a go at someones dad on here, have a go at me fine. Where was the need to add sexual comments - notice I did not reply with a comment about his mum.

Being dead, ill or disabled doesn't preclude anyone from being a tt. "Your dad" said the statement, "your dad" gets the retort. It's very simple to understand really.

The worse part is that when you were referring to "your dad" it was a fictional character, therefore his response was about the aforementioned fictional character, so why you took umbrage in the first place confounds me.

Seriously, WTF is wrong with some people.

What are peoples thought on chucking vegetable matter out the window? Apple cores, banana skins...that sort of thing.

The only thing I would ever throw out the window is an apple core, knowing it would rot or get eaten by local wildlife. However, now in California, my car pool colleague said I shouldn't do that as it is not native to the area if the seed takes. Never thought of that, will never do it again!

Blimey I'd wondered why my lane was so densely populated with banana plants.

You mean this Liverpool Lime Street - the one with 6 bins right outside the main entrance?

That's the one, the one with none in the station. I wasn't expecting to have to travel to throw stuff away. Or maybe I'm just blind. But I meant actually in the station itself.

Hands up though, I accept I might just be wrong. Please don't feel the need to travel to Lime Street, photograph the litter bins that might be there and I just missed despite an extensive search, and post them on here. Top use of streetview, though.

Do any major train stations have bins actually inside the main building........I don't think I have seen one for many many years (they were originally removed due to IRA bombings in the 70s and 80s). This isn't something specific to Liverpool or Lime Street station in particular.

There are some smaller stations bucking this trend - but I would hazard they are few and far between.

Besides - how much rubbish can you generate at a station such that it can't be tucked in a pocket or handbag and taken home to dispose of? If you buy a coffee or a sandwich that has a larger container/wrappings where this isn't practical or could be messy - i'm sure the place you bought them from would happily dispose of them for you.

Must be few and far between then - I had a look on google street view, which has the interior of the station and couldn't find any (although the images are from 2012 so could be out of date if they were installed recently).

It's certainly not the norm.

Most if not all the fruit tree bordering the above ground sections of the Tube are there because people thew their apple \ pear etc cores out of the carrage (obviously when the rolling stock had opening windows)

Yep - ash trays seem to have been replaced by cup holders in modern cars - however the boundless limits of human ingenuity usually wins through:

A few weeks ago I was driving along and saw traffic ahead slowing and then weaving all over the road. When I got closer I could see it was an animal of some sort they were trying to dodge and cars coming from the other direction were approaching too fast and a squish looked imminent. When I got really close it was tragi-comedy. A fox cub had a McD's soft drink cup (those big beaker things) totally jammed over its head and was running randomly about in the road.

I stopped the car, all the time expecting the little blighter to be squished at any moment but when I got near the cub darted into bushes and down an embankment by the side of the road. I couldn't just go as I was sure the fox would just end up back on the road again at some point. It was so young it obviously didn't even have the wherewithal to claw the thing off its face.

So I then spent the next twenty minutes crashing around in brambles. Every now and again I would see the cub but there was a happy ending. Eventually I got fairly close and to my amazement it wandered right up to me and stood stock still. It really was as if it knew someone might help. Without a word of a lie I just reached down and grabbed the cup and pulled it off the cub's head. Cub then did a Tom and Jetty eyes bulging impression (I probably did the same) and then it just charged off.

I felt as good as I've felt in years and I bloody hate litterers!

cool story bro!

Re: the baby grouse story.

I had a similar thing one night coming home from a late shift of my part time job at Uni, be about 10 years ago.

Just coming out of town I saw a hedgehog crossing the road so I slowed down and stopped as it went passed, as it went onto the other lane I saw 2 taxi's coming towards me, they didn't even blink, just straight into it, first car it bounced off the side of the wheel and as it seemed dazed the second car went right over it, it wasn't pretty.

I was shaking with anger, they must have seen it, it was well streetlight and my lights would have been highlighting it.

I was all for turning after the taxi and having it out but then had words with myself, but never forgot that and realised how callous and thoughtless folk can be towards animals.

Its the same when you hear about 16 swans being shot with air guns in my local town, they were never caught but if I or my dad ever found them they would have got a kicking and shoved in the river.

Makes me angry now when I think about that hedgehog

On the train the other day (busy evening commuter time. People standing in the aisles, all seats taken etc.), a wealthy-looking middle aged couple were sat next to each other with matching luggage under their seat and in the overhead rack. They ordered two cups of tea and a sandwich from the trolley as it passed.
They stirred their tea, took the teabags out, and put them directly on the tray table. Then picked the tomato out of the sandwich, and put that on the table as well. They each ate one half of the sandwich, drank their tea, then got up to get out at the airport stop, leaving the sandwich wrapper on the seat, their tea cups and other rubbish on the tray tables, and a free newspaper on the other seat.
I was contemplating saying something, when the person standing in the aisle that they were trying to squeeze past just said “I think you’ve forgotten something”.
They quickly looked back to check they had all their matching luggage, then the vacant-sounding woman asked what.
“All your rubbish. No-one can sit there now as you’ve left all that mess.”
She replied “oh, someone will clear that up.”
To which the chap said “yes, you.”
At this point, people started taking out their earphones, craning necks to see - expecting it all to kick off. The husband just walked back, scooped all the bits into the sandwich wrapper, used the newspaper to clean the tables, and folded it all up. Took him all of 20 seconds. Someone pointed out where the bins were for him, and the man who confronted them was rewarded not just with indignation from the stuck-up woman, but a clean seat for the rest of his journey.
