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!

from me too. You're that one in a hundred that actually does something, rather than turn a blind eye. You should be proud of the fact

I'd be inclined to follow here onto a train and present her with the evidence in a very loud voice. As a commuter of far too many years standing (and even some sitting down) I would say that she would be mortified to be shown up in front of fellow passengers - she might even be moved to change carriages, a massive blow to a commuter of habit.

With regards dropping fast food packets, I assume its the done thing for street cred or the imbeciles cannot understand the bin concept seeing as they even litter their own nest when parked up for a bit at such an establishment.

Their nest being the parking spaces that overlook the road so they can think they look kool in saxo whilst sucking on a Mcwhatever.

Your post sort of reminds me of a situation that was quite tragic. A mummy grouse or something like that was trying to marshall her 12 or so chicks across a road into my village (approaching a 30 mph limit). As I approached the line of little birds crossing the road, I slowed and stopped.

As I waited, I saw a bloke coming the other way in a Jaguar of some sort. He seemed to be speeding up so I got out of the car and tried to wave him down. The tt looked at me, put his foot down and wiped out the trail of chicks.

I don't think I have ever been so angry in my life. As he went past he looked at me and smirked. I was shouting at him, the !

My fiancee and I scooped up the few we could see still moving and one died in her hands. To this day it still brings a tear to my eye. The little thing made a few chirping sounds, wheezed a bit and just went still.

I really hope the person in the car had or has a visit from Mr Karma. I couldn't believe what he did. He really was a fking !

Anyone else also noticed the sheer amount of thin, blue carrier bags blowing around in the wind? The European mini markets in my local town seem to dish these out for everything you buy, even if it is a Twix.

Also, I see a lot of Eastern European brand beer cans rolling around the roads too. They seem to go hand in hand with the blue carrier bags.

Every day on my dog walk I pick up shee-ite that locals have distributed within five metres of a bin. Clearly they are very busy people.

Endlessly picking up poo really is the worst part of dog ownership...absolutely hateful. And the smug little sod just stands there admiring his good work, looking pleased with himself and you bend down and pick up his latest steaming offering with a little bag in your hand - before taking said turd for a walk before you come across a st bin.

Still do it though....leaving it really marks you out as a lazy bd

I live in Cambridge and if I've got rubbish in the car I drive to Haverhill and throw it out the window.

We looked at a house near Castle Camps once without knowing what the village or nearby Haverhill were like. Needless to say we didn't go down that route again.

Thinking about it, has anyone ever seen a John Lewis bag dropped as litter?

They're never knowingly dropped.

Very good!

[dazwalsh]

Reminds me of the time some utter scumbags were just lobbing all their mcd waste out of their POS Corsa in plain view of the poor underpaid fecker walking round the carpark picking up the rubbish, as he approached the car he picked up all the crap they had dropped and threw it back into the drivers lap. Made me chuckle.

I find it very hard to imagine anyone would deliberately mow them down? That's just fking sick. I only hope he was paying more attention to you waving your arms around rather than the road? I hope so anyway.

He knew what he was doing. I was waving and pointing to the stream of little birds crossing the road. I even gestured for him to slow down and he just booted it.

Sickening. But what can you do eh?

Unfortunately there is a mental deficiency in some. Last year on a local fresh water lake (it is not far from the sea so separating it from brackish or tidal) some kids were seen stoning some signets. They died. The family then left, notice that last bit, they were not on their own and with grown ups. There is a bird hide or three around this bit of water and I suspect that they were observed from the opposite side.


It is also the same place where dog walkers bag the usual. All well and good. Then they sling it in the hedge.

I challenged some yoofs stoning a duck and some ducklings on the local river, they muttered something along the lines "werent aiming for them" and "it was an accident" and wandered off. The other people walking on the bank were just shaking their heads but not doing anything.
