Why not drop litter in the first place and not have to wonder what ever that means

The council should ask all takeaways to formally clean the street outside their takeaway within 100 metres each side every night they trade after they close, they can do but I bet they don’t

If the council started issuing fines for people who drop litter at 1.00am on Saturday in Manchester the police would say go ahead but don’t rely on us for help as we’re a bit busy at this time. The people who issue the fines would be in A & E in ten minutes. So they can do that or try and stop...

Because they’d be put into A & E

I think there is, the embarrassment factor. If you are told to pick up a cigarette butt or face a fine you’d be embarrassed and would think twice in future. Plus other people may see what’s going on and think I’m not gonna get into that situation. I just think by issuing fixed penalties to...

And I bet you are the sort of person who wouldn’t dream of dropping a coke can on the floor. Personally because of our smoking culture where dropping/flicking the butt is “normal” I think councils should let you off if you pick it up when pulled up by them and only give you a fine if you refuse...

It’s a criminal offence to drop litter. It’s also an offence not to give your name and address when requested or to give a false one. The police can arrest you if the council ask them to but don’t think it would be a priority for the police. If you just walked off there’s not a lot the council...

They make me laugh

A lot of people don’t see dropping a cig butt as littering. A person who would drop a cig butt without thinking often wouldn’t dream of dropping a mars bar wrapper. It’s a shame really because it leads to bad feeling against the council, like they are doing it to make money. But it is littering...

Sounds about right, might be cheaper if paid early though

Not particularly in Manchester but I know how it works

Limit debt, including debt to tax man to a specific level before the league step in and direct club via a plan to reduce said debt by selling players etc, if they don’t follow agreed plan then points deducted. Different levels of debt allowed for each division. The higher the division more debt...

My wife makes the best curry, not much oil loads of different spices, fresh coriander at the end and makes bread out of yoghurt and flour. Better than any shop one we get.

Tyler is a tosser, hated his heavy breathing and snorting

I’ve got a really bad feeling that more and more civil unrest is on the horizon. A combination of an ever increasing gap between rich and poor, chronically underfunded services not being able to help people, people wanting help with everything and feeling entitled and social media and the press...

I genuinely used to trust the BBC, wtf was I thinking.

My two year old granddaughter walking down the hall with my shoes on saying “Look, I’m Grandad”

Do kids still say wagging it?

I have a lot of respect for the police, they have possibly one of the hardest jobs to do, but that looks really bad. Why do you need to stamp on someone’s head? This just justifies some people’s hatred of the police.

RIP Becky, missed you when you left to fight fires. You used to brighten up the news
