“Good but this appears to be unusual.
Have a look in school yards at end of term, try just before Easter break”

“All they need to do now is get to grips with the dirty B's that think spitting around the place is a 'hard' or 'cool' thing to do. All it really demonstrates is that they're a bit thick.”

“It is madness, it would be cheaper for Hull City Council to employ street cleaners to clean up the mess then to take the people dropping litter to court. Thought the council were cutting back?????”
