Same here. And i bring home recyclable things in preference to binning them in public bins where they'll end up in landfill. I'm talking about bus tickets and the like blowing into the road - there's been occasions where I haven't waited to be able to go and collect them and get rid of them responsibly.

I have run over a squirrel before, but considering A) it fell out of a tree in front of me B) looked fairly dead on the road/in the air C) went down the middle of the car without (probably) making any contact with my vehicle and D) is a pest, I don't think it counts.

I make defamatory (sp?) remarks on a regular basis, mostly here probably

I've dished out a few slaps to people who absolutely deserved it, but legally I'd have been in the wrong...

And I litter if there is no bin handy - I walk everywhere and sometimes you're talking about a mile before you see a bin

There's also been an advert on local radio here about chewing gum that was played so continuously that I will now happily spit it out all over Belfast city centre if I ever buy a pack

There's just no call for that.
Pocket it if there's no bin until you see one.
There's no need to litter, not even in the countryside where bins are even scarcer than in towns/cities.

Mark

+1, litter hangs about for years and it's unsightly.

I once saw my son drop a chocolate wrapper and I made him go back and pick it up. When he protested that there was no bin I told him to use a bin. About 5 minutes later my daughter asked me what she should do with her wrapper, as she had no pockets. I put the wrapper in my pocket.

I'm no saint, but this really is a no-brainer...

You have just been sentenced to 1 year on litter patrol in Belfast by your own words

Corrected.

Hold it.

If you have no pockets then transport it to the bin in the same way you got it to where it is now.

Simples.

Well that's your problem, isn't it! Fold it, or hold it, or carry it in whatever you were carrying it in before. A coke can I'd always take home unless I happened upon a recycling place.

Such as a canal, hedge, bench, etc?

I spanked a monkey once......
