I have a little spot down in Cornwall that is by a long distance my favourite place to park for the night. Parking there this week there was unusually another truck, one of those potato bulkers. No problem, but he left before me in the morning and left behind a carrier bag full of his rubbish in what is quite an immaculate spot. It makes my blood boil, if drivers do this is it any wonder that people treat us like dirt. Take your bloody rubbish with you and put it in a bin.
It’s just the way things are these days I’m afraid, seems it’s no longer accepted practice to take your rubbish with you. I live in a very tidy village. A new McDs is about to open up on the main road, giving just enough time to eat a burger by time you reach my property. I’m looking forward to finding the wrappings laying in the street outside my door every morning!

I think people that drop litter should be shot on sight. Can’t stand the ■■■■■.

I know people in that very situation who have picked up all the Golden Arches related items they have found in and around their locality and collected several bin liners full of it. They have then ‘returned it to whence it came from’, making a tasteful arrangement of it on the restaurant floor on a suitably busy day.
This has obviously sparked a ‘discussion’ with the management…who have agreed to widen the scope of their litter-picking activities as a consequence!
The Govt should grow some balls and introduce a heavy tax on non-returnable packaging. The revenue from this should be used to replace employers’ NI contributions…thus ending a long-outdated ‘tax on jobs’.
There used to be an office park in high wycombe near the mini tescos, but obviously someone took the ■■■■ cos they have nailed up signs saying “no trucks allowed to park 24/7”
Some laybyes on chichester bypass A27 have good spaces near a Tescos if you’re down that way.
If you’re down south then Avis way industrial estate in Newhaven is quiet and near a super market or Newhaven docks is good with free shower.
Ehhh . once again it seems I have read the title and replied before reading the content. Sorry!

I did something similar once. I was in the garage / Mc D’s on the A27 at Littlehampton. As i walked across the car park some little scrote dropped his litter out of the window of his Corsa. He didn’t see me coming so i picked it up and dropped it through the window into his lap and said “here mate, think you lost something”. He went to get out but took a look at me and thought better of it. It was quite funny actually, his girlfriend in the passenger seat was in stitches.
Have you ever noticed how much litter is thrown on slip roads when people come off of the motorway then lob it out,there is allways lots of lager cans ive noticed ,scruffs no need.

Can you be sure the rubbish wasn’t left there before he parked up ■■?
You want to name the haulier ? Feel free to PM me the details, if it’s who I think it is , I’ll get him sorted :):)
There’s a place in Gloucester which is near a tesco store which has lately been overrun with Eastern Europeans and as there is no bin there,the rubbish is starting to pile up.And the smell too it’s horrific!!
And before anyone starts it’s junk you can buy in pidou.
It’s only a matter of time before it gets bollards there to stop everyone from stopping there.

brilliant idea gasgas, tax the employees more for their employers rubbish and then tell the employers who generate the rubbish they don’t have to pay ■■■■ all. I bet your a conservative voter aren’t you

Similar happened to me on the Leicester ring road near the Welford Road a few weeks ago. As I sat at the lights I saw a sandwich wrapper/box being dropped casually out of the passenger window of a Mercedes car. I remarked to my driver’s mate what I thought of that sort of thing. The lights changed and we started forward, but they changed again before we got through and ■■■■ me if another sandwich wrapper didn’t appear out of the same window. I nipped out, picked both wrappers up, opened the car’s rear door and popped them inside with a remark about how they appeared to have accidentally dropped something. The lights were already changing again before they had a chance to do much about it

Why didn’t you give his registration number to the local council and inform them of what you seen?
Shame he left before you could tie it onto his unit fairing supports
