Rubbish (Garbage)...a wee rubbish story...

We live on the West coast of Scotland, the high street runs along the loch side for 1.5 miles, tourists stop for a look and decide to picnic on the high strret. The weekends are the worst, loads of tourists. Well anyway, we were out for a walk down the high st, and a couple are sitting the car eating, Next thing a banna skin flys out of the window onto the ground. There are rubbish bins all down the high street for people to use.

Irene (adorable wife) goes up to the car and picks up the skin and throws back into the car. I think to myself, here we go...

Out flys the skin onto the floor again. Irene goes upto the driver and states that we live here and sick of the tourists rubbish on the floor and shows him the bins. She also states that 'you tourists come here to see the wonderful views but ruin it with your rubbish'. Yes it ends up in a row.

So yes, rubbish is a world wide problem, on land and water. It's peoples attitude that need to change.

Phew!! I'll stop now.
