    Out and about in the camper recently. Cycling through the car park area of one of the local beauty spots we are greeted with this ...

    So much for this simple request!

    But obviously this simple request was a bridge too far for the morons responsible for this! They clearly just decided that this was a perfectly acceptable spot to empty the contents of their car*. What complete tossers! Seriously, 500 hours of community service wouldn't be enough for them.

    So my eldest says... "Daddy we can do our litter picking here." So after we got back to the camper we drove back and did just that. Donned the gloves and in a couple of minutes...

    On arriving home the contents of the bag found a new temporary dwelling in the bottom of our bin. We also decided to make a litter picker a permanent addition to our camper.

    (*Disclaimer* - Almost certainly car and not a camper as I've never seen another camper there. So the assumption is based on the application of amateur probability :D Only posting here as we were out and about in the camper and to encourage my camper colleagues to do the same.)

    Know that spot well and go there often. Great views - even on a bad day! Hate to see that, well done for cleaning it up - sadly, many would've ignored it. Fair play.

    Kudos for that.

    You would wonder alright what people think of the environment :(

    That is probably the best camper an story/ good deed I have heard.

    Well done to that man.

    I wonder is there any point advising the coco litter warden.

    I lifted two black. Afs of rubbish from my estate last weekend. People are filthy animals.

    Well done indeed!

    Some people will never change.

    I've seen signs somewhere that say "Take nothing away and Leave nothing behind".

    If only people would think first.

    I always thought the:

    "Take only photographs, leave only footprints"

    was a nice way of putting it.

    How about laminating one of the photos from above and putting a note under it stating "Dont Do It Again"

    Attach it to a pole in the carpark
