It's absolutely true that there aren't enough bins, but don't dress up your scumbag behaviour as a protest against that. Bring a bag with you, put your rubbish in the bag, take it home or to whatever bin you do pass on your way home.

Don't call me a scumbag please.

It's extremely difficult with small kids and a wife who can't carry very much to go gathering up sacks of rubbish and packing them in to an already packed car with buggies and all the other paraphernalia.

It's a valid form of protest. It allows the council to easily identify which areas need more bins.

They would love nothing more than everyone to bring their rubbish home like mugs and completely abdicate their responsibility to provide bins.

How did you get the crap onto the beach in first place? And there should be less crap having eaten it)

So explain to me why its a councils responsibility to clean up after you ? Bring your filth home for god sake and teach your children something useful
And explain to me how the leftover rubbish is more to carry than the food you brought in the first place ? Did you add a bucket of sand to it ?

If I have a sh1te in your front garden, is that a valid form of protest?
Just bring home the stuff you brought with you.

i remember stories about volunteers clearing litter off the beach at brittas bay being verbally abused by people whose litter they were clearing up.
and yes, the vast majority of people who litter are just lazy and selfish. but they're not the ones you'd need to worry about.

You can say the exact same thing about illegal parking but we still clamp them any way. No one says we shouldn't be clamping because some scumbag might stab them for it. We need to start enforcing this shít because until we do plenty of people will just ignore it and throw their rubbish where ever they like.

i'm 50/50 on if this is trolling or not !!

Anyway - surely if you have consumed what was contained in the rubbish there is actually less that needs to be returned and packed in to the car

anyway - no point in being ignorant if you can't show it I suppose

What I think of you is not printable here. You are the very definition of the ****ing problem. Take your sh1t home (there should be less of it than you brought in the first place)

Pintman Paddy Losty · 15-06-2021 11:12AM

How do people not understand this. It's not about the volume of the rubbish. I normally bring a few cans with me. Fine when full and sealed. After they are drank there is stale smelly beer in them. My boot is full, I'm not putting them in the back seat with the kids where they'll spill everywhere and stink the car out of it. There should be a bin at the picnic area or beach. If there's not, there will be next time when the council see where the rubbish is piling up.

Same goes for sandwich wrappers. Fine when you're bringing them, afterwards they're covered in mayonaisse and sauces. Doesn't mix well with a car, especially on a hot day. The less said about nappies the better.

Lick your wrappers and finish your cans.

Thats what black bin bags are for . God god , who leaves nappies on a beach , seriously take your babys ****e back home with you . :mad::mad::mad:

scrumqueen · 15-06-2021 11:14AM

Brought the dog to the beach last night, the rubbish on the way in littered all over the grass was saddening, but then, on the beach, in the car park everywhere smashed glass.
I understand the odd bit of broken glass but this just smacks of wanton destructive bad behaviour.

maybe the council should have people on standby with clean beer glasses so you can enjoy the beer properly rather than having to slum it drinking from a can.

Or maybe you rinse out the beer can with some of the water that might be on the beach before putting it in a little plastic bag that you can also put in your mayo soaked wrappers .. tie a knot in it and pop it in your boot.

I also don't believe your sense of entitlement and i'd be calling it trolling now !

PhilOssophy · 15-06-2021 11:17AM

Golden trolling above, but sadly close to the truth for the attitude of many. Where there is a will there is a way, where there is no will there is an excuse.

15-06-2021 11:18AM

So much entitlement on this thread, and people not accepting the fact that they are scumbags

Picnic in the back garden if yourself and your small wife aren't able to carry less back to the car than you carried away from it.

We love a picnic in this house. I don’t love lugging too much around so instead of a cool box we use a cool bag as it’s lighter. The picnic bag comes home lighter than when we leave. You literally put you rubbish back in the bag once you have finished with it. Children from a young age can be taught to clean up after themselves. If my young lad goes anywhere I often find wrappers in his pockets because that’s where he puts them if there is no bin.

I don’t know where you leave your rubbish but it can become a health hazard to wildlife and also do damage to the environment all because someone can’t take two seconds to clean up after themselves.

What you call protest others interpret as selfishness.

And yet, you do not see the error of your ways.
It is exactly your self centered selfish attitude and lack of respect that have people calling you out.
At best you have brutish arrogant attitude, at worst a lack of intelligence and cognitive reasoning, either way you have a problem.

there is a worrying trend of people using 'protest' as an excuse to do ****ty things.

Like the anti-maskers 'protesting' by tormenting retail workers and recording incidents of their own creation seeking attention.
