I'm the sad-sack that picks up the detritus in the road left after the bin men have been. Can't just leave it there.

It's not just me then

No, it's mainly the bin men. But really, you shouldn't be doing it either as it just makes more work for trails.

Maybe I need a sense of purpose

Cold seems to think that I confessed to chucking crap on your road.

Maybe I could stop taking the crap my my road to yours and just put it into the bin

There are no rocks and I don't in any way pretend it's mine but I mow the verge in front of my house. If I wait for the council? to do it, it gets to be an absolute eyesore.

Me too, and most of my neighbours, apart from one who claims it's a wildflower preserve, and has stuck posts in to discourage the council from mowing it.

A second home owner on my Mother's road did that on the grass area in front of their houses. The council regularly cut it, but the residents tidy it up and plant flowers there. Second home lady decided it should be allowed to grow wild and put signs up and leaflets through everyone's doors. She got told to fk off quite quickly.

Blots?

Blots = brown marks/streaks, easily removed with a "council" wet-wipe and then flushed down the "council bog".

The comments on FB are brutal - and I agree with them. These balaclava wearing, knife wielding, electric motorbike riding scrotes are an absolute blight on society.

Some of us think a slab of green that just goes yellow if it doesn't rain for a week is an eyesore and much prefer a mix of colours, heights, etc. that you get from leaving it a bit longer between cuts.

Agreed - 'his path was challenging' is PC speak for 'he was a feral little st'.

Maybe if the lady complaining was at her second home for more than a weekend a month, she might have a leg to stand on. Also, most of the gardens on the road are like bowling greens, due to all being retired and having too much time on their hands

Driver, obese woman, sunflower lanyard, thigh sized tattoo'd arm visible in the door mirror, vape glued to her hand, occasional cloud of strawberry flavoured vapour exiting the window, obnoxious sounding dance music blaring...

From your description, in her case, I’d say it was clearly visible.
