Not my rubbish but it is my town, my street and with public resources stretched beyond breaking point I think we should all take a bit of responsibilty for our neighbourhood.

Obviously the steward volunteers do the bulk of litter picking but this unassuming gentleman would tidy away the rest. He died a few years ago & I found out he'd been a ballroom dancer who lived in a flat over a shop looking over the village green. It must have given him great pleasure to see it all spic and span but took no credit for it.BadPennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09889591351222591488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-47805609901990763562017-05-17T08:36:29.493+00:002017-05-17T08:36:29.493+00:00Shan't.Shan't.Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-44750029443254619802017-05-17T08:14:25.266+00:002017-05-17T08:14:25.266+00:00There are nice folk around thankfully.I watched th...There are nice folk around thankfully.I watched that prog last night 'Three Girls'.Not many nice folk in that.Left me deeply upset and angry.Between Me and Youhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04863155145862706966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-80578719894309191582017-05-17T08:13:59.625+00:002017-05-17T08:13:59.625+00:00There are nice folk around thankfully.I watched th...There are nice folk around thankfully.I watched that prog last night 'Three Girls'.Not many nice folk in that.Left me deeply upset and angry.Between Me and Youhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04863155145862706966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-37568604287817635352017-05-17T08:11:12.778+00:002017-05-17T08:11:12.778+00:00Facebook is the way to go to get the word out.That...Facebook is the way to go to get the word out.That's what we do up here and it's been really successful in rallying support.Between Me and Youhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04863155145862706966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-39033240216916973052017-05-17T07:01:58.291+00:002017-05-17T07:01:58.291+00:00What a nice man.What a nice man.Andi's English Attichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04136573194920355678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-61279442163106795782017-05-17T06:56:22.937+00:002017-05-17T06:56:22.937+00:00When I became a Firey, it was to benefit my commun...When I became a Firey, it was to benefit my community and our environment, and we put in a lot of hours, but what I have gained in so many ways is far more than I have ever put in. Don't know how it is there, but here almost all of our emergency services are done by volunteers. Weird really how a lot of the most important work in our society is trusted to unpaid people when we pay CEOs millions of dollars a week. Well maybe not so odd. I know who I'd rather trust to have my back! T.L.
