Don't Be a Tosser - Take Your Litter Home

A landowner in Northumberland has been criticised for putting up signs to try persuade people from dropping litter onto the roadside after she has experienced a large rise in the amount of litter she is having to clear up. As well as coming across plastic bottles, beer cans etc she has also found used condoms and needles.

The signs were inspired after a trip to Australia. The words on the signs are

DON'T BE A TOSSER - TAKE YOUR LITTER HOME!

Some people in the nearby village of Stamfordham have been complaining about them and some have even been ripped down. It's a shame they don't direct their fury at the people leaving used condoms for walkers and children to come across. Theres enough sheep in the fields without the public turning into them. Good for Jo Riddell for having a backbone and trying to stand up for keeping the countryside litter free. It's time dropping disgusting litter like drugs stuff and condoms was a much more serious offence than dropping a crisp wrapper.

As for litter droppers being called Tossers. I think thats a perfect description. They're spoilt brats who care for nobody but themselves.
