Watch out! Litterbugs about!

This weekend has been particularly bad with the amount or litter that has been strewn in various places. This was probably due to the springlike weather that we have enjoyed for the last couple of days. Today has seen a return to normal with more rain, sleet and snow showers!
On Saturday for instance, I was sitting in my front room reading the newspaper when I heard a lot of banging outside the window. When I looked out I saw a young man in his twenties get out of a BMW car (fairly new) and watched as he walked along the road and went into one of the Barratt hutches which are opposite. I went back to my newspaper and fifteen minutes later there was a lot more banging of car doors, so being inquisitive and wondering what car had about ten doors, I looked out again.
This time the young man was with about ten others and they all squeezed into two cars but before he closed his car door, he threw out a half eaten sandwich and the cardboard package. I was furious because we have wheelie bins outside and there were two within ten feet of his car. Before I could get my shoes on and go out to confront him, they had driven off so I picked up the remains of the sandwich with the packaging then walked along the road where I put it on the doorstep of the house he was visiting, ensuring that it would be there for his tea!
This morning, I needed a couple of items of shopping so I took the route across Castle Park despite the weather and I was surprised at the amount of litter that was spread across the grass. There must have been enough to fill at least a dozen large wheelie bins. There were cans, bottles and at least two trainers (not a pair) along with the plastic carrier bags and cardboard boxes that had contained cans of lager.
I cannot comprehend why people can't be bothered to put their rubbish in the bins provided, there are certainly enough of them. Instead they prefer to live like pigs (although that is probably an insult to a noble animal). As children, we were always taught to respect our surroundings and bin the rubbish or take it home, but that message seems to have been lost long ago.
