Yes, I will say I was rather appalled by the rather casual attitute towards trash there seems to be in much of England. OF course I was in the touristy areas which may explain it.
I was on the Thames Embankment near London Bridge when the trash collectors picked up some trash from some business. Now this is a major touristy area and it was Easter weekend so thousands of people were walking around this area. One of the bags of trash broke and the trash collectors merely drove off and left the trash all over the side walks! Simply appalling.
However that was one of the few bleak spots in an otherwise superb vacation. I cannot wait to go back to England! My brother’s contract has been renewed for a year at a different school. This one is in Wokingham which is sort of England’s IT center. Lots of American companies have their HQs out there. I am all ready plotting how I can go back for a month next year!
Yes rubbish is a problem in Britain. If anything the older generation of Brits are the worse.
A lot have the attitude well someone is employed to clear it up some even go further if I did not throw it down I would be putting someone out of a job - I kid you not that was a thought at one time - less now but a lot of people of my dad’s generation had thought.
