  I like the keep Briaitan tidy video as you certainly get the point from start to finnish, however i also found it a little over exaggerated although very fun to watch.

  Why has it become acceptable for people to constantly spit on the streets. I have had someone's spit end up on my trousers. It is disgusting habit!!!

  Just to say what a great promotional ad re the cigarette butts and generated waste. Anyone who smokes, as do I, should not leave their butts on the floor but use an ashtray such as 'ButtsOut'. Clean, environmentally friendly and most of all convenient. They cost next to nothing and fit snugly in a pocket or handbag. Everyone should use one or be fined!
