Smoking drivers and fag ends.

[col]

I must admit, I would much prefer a fag butt to a dump being thrown out of a window at me! lol

Yes I did go too far there

Last weekend I walked up Scafell Pike. The summit was strewn with discarded fag ends. Why? Ignorance and self justification in the delusion that it is "OK" to drop them.

In contrast, a friend I walked with also smokes. When he got to the top he had a fag - I don't see the need, but its up to him after all. After he finished he put the end in a plastic bag to carry back down. If he can do that, I'm sure drivers - and you, Col - can use the ashtray at arm's length.

Col, you are being ridiculous. It is my opinion that you should take a step back from this debate for a few days and then think about why there is a consensus view here about littering out of car windows, and whether you are right or wrong to do it.

And for what it is worth, I have read, and reread Goo's comment several times and wondered if I would be offended if someone said that to me. The truth is if someone asked me if I set an example to the children in my family and encouraged them to put their rubbish away in the bin rather than toss it in the street, I would hold my head up high and say Yes.

Aaah, but you don't throw fag ends out of car windows when no-one is looking, so it's quite easy for you to say that you like to set a good example by (not) doing this... as can we all who don't litter...
