It seems to me that the lack of respect people have for the countryside is growing worse.
I was disappointed to see rubbish strewn around at the Thatcham nature reserve today, although probably not from the regular visitors, but the teenagers at night, as it tended to be takeaway wrappers.
Found the same in the car park at Sulham Woods, takeaway rubbish just dumped before driving away and within a few yards of a large bin (it can be seen on the left of the wide angle photo). Even a soiled disposable nappy was dumped there and that wouldn't have been the youngsters.
The sad thing is that people jokingly say that France is a lovely country but wasted on the French, but the French seem to respect their country and countryside, which is something an increasing majority of our population don't do.
Next time you drive off a motorway slip road and have to slow down, just take a look at the garbage people have just thrown out of their cars.
