Its opening day for gods sake. The river is pristine a a joy to be beside then you stroll into a swim and see what some muppet has left behind for someone else to clear up.

I hope (but don`t think) that the person responsible may pop into here from time to time and may recognise their mess that WE had to take home for them. Nice of them to bag it up and leave it hanging out the tree................

Saturday, June 16th, Kinver Freeliners Hampton Loade, left bank by the canoe stop.

Disgraceful :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
 
Seriously thick people out there take your rubbish home then when you go back to fish again guess what, the place will be tidy and clean and more enjoyable it's not hard to work it out...... Shocking!!!!
 
It's not nice is it?

They probably do........Townies these days are so used to just leaving their litter where they were sat and public employees coming along and cleaning up after them they think it happens everywhere. The irony is these people probably thought that by tying it up in a tree they were making the river cleaners job easier.
Back in the day when there were only three TV channels we had public information films educating people what was acceptable behaviour and what was not. Perhaps they should reintroduce them for the first half hour of every school day and in post office queues and the doctors, A&E, outpatients departments and all public buildings where people have to wait.

It would cost too much, Adrian.

Adrian - townies? I don't know whether you're prone to such sweeping generalisations in other subjects, but doing so does you no favours. The perpetrators might have just as likely come from the quaint little country village. I'm from, and live in a city, and don't leave litter on the bank or tied to a tree. Pretty bizarre thing to write.....
 
i don't live in a town, it's quite rural round here and we have big problems with litter on our common.

A slight exaggeration by Adrian perhaps Richard, but your reaction to his comment is equally OTT, don't you think :D When Adrian and I were younger, country folk new how to look after their environment, and did....and then the townies would descend at weekends and frequently leave their mess behind for others to clear up. Things have changed now, granted....but perhaps that might be partly down to the fact that towny invaders now own and live in most of the houses in the countryside :p:D

Chill out Richard :D

David - point taken but, no, I don't think my reaction was at all OTT. Couldn't let it pass as it stank of unwarranted prejudice.

However, the thread's digressed and I should add that finding all that rubbish on the bank wouldn't fill me with happiness either. Up here in the North West I regularly encounter cr*p left by thoughtless anglers.
 
As a Townie :rolleyes: we appreciate the country side MORE than some that live there ;)

regards John :p

Townies is not a geographical generalisation, more an attitude mate and you know nothing about me so who are you to judge. I make my living renting homes to some of the people who leave litter in trees, their gardens, their public amenity spaces and even their houses and they think it's a perfectly normal thing to do, these people are townies and if you asked them where vegetables come from they would tell you they come in a bag from Iceland, they are that divorced from the countryside it would never occur to them that it is grown in the country. They Richard, despite living on the edge of some of the finest countryside in this country and less than a mile from the river Severn are townies. Why we are surprised when at the start of the river season they leave their day ticket commercials [where they are waited on hand and foot and someone does come round and cleans up after them] buy a day ticket [or not if no bailiff comes round] for the river because they have read about these barbel, and then leave their **** behind when they go? They don't know any better and take it for granted that someone will clean up, after all, what else have they paid a day ticket for?
 
hey simmer Adrian :)

If you know who they are go and sort it.

They just might be your neighbours :rolleyes:

I know plenty of country bumkins that would leave litter gates open and even fish with out a licence so please less of the Townies unless of course you know who they are :D
 
LOL but we know the difference between women and sheep :D:D:D:D
