Interesting.

If you see a car that throws a fag end out of a car, can you report them to the old bill?

That's a new feature of a car - automated fag butt thrower.  Do you pay extra for that?

Where are smokers supposed to put out fags in the town centre?
I can't remember ever seeing ashtrays anywhere, so what's the alternative?

Seems fucking harsh to me.

Litter I can understand as there are bins everywhere.

Exactly Ginginho. I know when i've been abroad, to major cities at least, there's been ashtrays every few hundred metres and it makes you feel bad dropping them. Besides, I read Allen Carr's easy way to stop smoking about a month ago and since then I've at long last stopped thinking about smoking and know i won't smoke again.

EDIT, change of thought alert: Littering does make me mad though, I hate seeing lazy cunts drop wrappers and things, so why should smokers be exempt? Just carry it to a bin you lazy fucks. Smiley

Littering is the laziest, most pointless offence and really winds me up.  Just take it home with you or find a bin.

There are fag bins outside McDonalds by the big TV but I don't know about the other ends of town.

Do the majority of smokers stamp on their fag end when they drop it to put it out? I bet most do. So why not just pick it up once out?

With the amount of people on community service orders, (and, dare I say it, benefits), there shouldn't be a piece of litter anywhere in any town in the country. It can't be beyond the wit of man to organise this.

Instead of fines the litterers themselves should also be performing this service.

Fair point but surely we should be addressing the cause of litter rather than just following people and picking it up?

Changing behaviour is the key and if takes having to fine people to do it then so be it.

One woman, Jennifer Nash, 47, of Oakham Close, could not afford to pay the court costs and had to remain in the court building for the whole day by means of a punishment.

This defines the whole custodial system in this country- pathetic.

Send her out on the streets to pick up litter.
