When they interviewed the local buisness people they said the worst offenders were 45-60 year olds.
No surprise there.

Re: 'Jobsworth' ....

Twiz - the reason the majority are 40-60 year olds is 'cos they are of 'that' generation and now we have their teenagers doing the same
EDIT - I think the 60's would be just a handful - I hope ....

Where I live...in the town you get nicked for dropping a fag end.Nice easy targets.

But here on the estate where it looks like a dustbin lorry has lost it's load...not a single litter warden.Because they wouldn't dare approach the yobs without risking a thick lip.
The yobs ? where did they come from ? most yobs would possibly stand around laughing at such an incident but wouldn't attack anyone.

Thank you for saying that.
I used to go up to people if I saw them littering and tell them to pick up whatever they had dropped and put it in the bin, my husband has now stopped me as he says I could be attacked. Still infuriates me to see people littering with so many bins around.

Re: 'Jobsworth' ....

Our re-cycle collectors seem to leave a trail behind them, we never had so much litter before! Even broken glass is left on the pavements. I know it's a horrid job but, seems to defeat the object.
