McBain Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Warrington town centre - a great place to avoid no matter what the time of day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucy Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Tilly Be careful - if you get serious about litter in the town centre you bring down on yourself the wrath of all and sundry. Whatever you do, don't try to suggest what section of the community might be causing the litter or you will be villified by other forum members who apparently are prepared to tolerate the existing, appalling, situation. As McBain says, the town centre is a place to avoid at all times, which is what I do. Which of course means I spend my money elsewhere.

Peter T Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Lucy, Welcome back. My apologies for sitting here posting in my trainers, but I am just off out. How can you be so knowledgeable about the town centre and everything that goes on there, and yet say that you avoid it? :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMAO- Thats because my dear, litter is left by all walks of life not just the ones you have chosen to blame, when will you learn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBain Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 legion, are you saying that certain demographic groups are no more predisposed to littering than others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter T Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 LOL. Lucy certainly brings a soucant of je ne sais quoi, when she posts. The forum seems to have an exotherm when she joins in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAY CITY ROLLER Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Dunno what you Warrington people want,your town centre is better than ours(St.Helens).Wanna swop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazj Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 So does that mean that all the kids and young uns and chavs that I see throwing litter, bottles, chewing gum etc all over the floors, every day of the week are not really young people but are older people with jobs and a purpose in life..... but disguised as young people? Now I am confused! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legion Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 well if you specifally target pop cans, crisp packets & chewingum then fair enough but lets add hmmm Cigarette cartons matches, cigaette buts, fly tippers beer cans, broken beer glasses industrial supplies (it amazes me how often I see sealant tubes on the floor ???) and worst of all the sputum of some wrinky old cap wearer. or maybe its just realy tall wrinkly babies.

willywonka Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Baz - sorry to have to be the one to tell you this, but it's probably a "yes" to that. You're getting old mate, but it's just as confusing to me too. <podges pipe> [ 11.10.2007, 00:00: Message edited by: willywonka ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucy Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Interesting that this topic still persists. The reason I singled out young people as the litterbugs in my original post was that on the occasion that I visited town, the town centre was full of young people, sitting on the seats at the top of Bridge Street, surrounded by litter. I am quite prepared to accept that elderly people, middle aged people, males, females, and even babes in arms also drop litter. On the day in question, however, I believe it was the school age teenagers who were mainly responsible. Quite frankly, even if they were not, they were prepared to sit in the midst of it, which in my view makes them little better than whoever DID deposit the litter. The trouble with arguments put forward by the likes of Legion is that they give the impression that he is prepared to tolerate litter. I believe we should all refuse to accept it. Really, we should confront the culprits when we see them do it but (I know!) we don't because we haven't the bottle. But it is because we all look the other way that these things happen. In response to Peter, who wants to know how I know what it is like in the town centre if I don't go there, the answer is that I RARELY go there, avoiding it whenever possible. I would have thought everyone realises that to take part in this forum it is necessary to generalise occasionally! Oh, and by the way, Peter, have you swallowed a dictionary?

Peter T Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 No Lucy, just everyday language. I tend not to use words like that in case people don't have dictionaries. I thought that you had deserted us. You really must learn to read between the lines. People do take these things seriously, but in this day and age, a little light-hearted banter keeps us sane.
