| Comment | This is it. Refuse collection by the council is woeful, but the issue is folk just leaving things at their arse. I can't get my head round that way of thinking.
For a period of about 5 years around 2000, one of my favourite things to do was head up to Loch Lomond - a spot just beyond Rowardennan - with a bunch of mates and camp for the night. We'd have a swally etc and the place probably looked a bit of a riot by the morning, but we'd clear everything up and leave the place tidy like we'd never been there. Over the next few years the litter left by others would get worse and worse - we'd arrive and whole tents would be abandoned, shite everywhere, until eventually camping was banned in the area. Just fucked it for the lot of us.
The same mentality is there in city parks, too. 20 years ago you'd have crowded days in Kelvingrove, but the place was left in reasonable shape. Not these days even with the giant bins at the foot of the hill.
I realise I probably sound like a miserable old cunt, "things were better in my day" etc, but the change has been noticeable and I can't get my head round it. |
