Discarded drinks....

[annedonnelly]

On a 25 mile ride around the lanes of Sussex, north of Brighton, I've conducted an entirely unscientific survey of the type and brand of drinks scumbags people have lobbed into the hedgerows and laybys.
Joint winners are...
1. Red Bull and Stella - 18 each
2.Water
3.Fosters (I didn't know anyone still drank that shite)
4.Kronenburg
5.Coke - various
6.Coffee
7.Monster
8.Lucozade
9.Rum
10.G&T

Sounds much the same as I litter-picked last week.

We're also well into ice-cream season so within a decent distance of the ice-cream shop their pots are found. A bit further away it's the McDonald's version - McSlurry?

I passed by what was basically a full litre bottle of Bells whiskey the other day

If the label spelled whisky with an E, it wasn't the genuine article, just as well you did not sample it.

I didn't pick it up and drink it, as I could not confirm if someone had peed in it

I didn't want to take the chance on drinking neat Bells

Bells and piss taste identical.

I see your point, but if you go well off the beaten track, so where mountain bikers and walkers etc go, you will see dozens of gel wrappers, flapjack wrappers etc. It is easy to have a dig at the boy racers and the like, but we do it as well!

It’s disgusting isn’t it. I have also been appalled by the scenes from many parks across the country, since lockdown was eased, of litter strewn everywhere. I simply cannot fathom how the “brains” of these t***ts work and think that’s it’s ok to bring food and drink with them and just leave their crap behind when they leave. Mindless

It's a pretty low brow selection for Sussex. I'd have expected fruit smoothies, almond milk and Pimms to feature

I get most angry about people who throw M&S Gin & Tonic cans out their windows into hedgerows. If you're fancy enough to drink that, you're educated enough to know not to throw litter.

Don't be daft... that's up 'ere

Cheshire maybe, not 'ere!

Im right with you.

Ok, we've been in and out of lockdown. But its been on and off over a year, not 6 like the last big war. There has been no rationing. No one has been called up. No one has been dropping bombs on us. There has been no rationing. Entertainment and communication opportunities are incredibly varied, advanced and inexpensive.

It's not been nice, but the nation has had it far, far, far worse on other occasions.

Yet these weak willed, ill disciplined muppets emerge blinking into the light as if theyve survived a nuclear winter with nothing more than a bottle of Perrier and a Bon Jovi album to sustain them, and rush like lemmings to the nearest green space to be rammed in like sardines with the other lemmings, and then dump their detritus.

People of Britian - get a grip, grow up, grow some cojones, learn to behave with a bit of dignity, and then take your crap home with you.

I despair, whatever has happened to the discerning consumers of Special Brew and Faxe?

Faxe knows...

Indeed!
Appalled as I am by the casual littering of the countryside, my point was the dreadfully lowbrow choice of drinks they chuck out of their cars...

Skol near you.... I didn't know it was still a thing till you bought a case on the MTB weekend (two years ago - OMG - Covid get lost).

I bow to your greater experience - I have only tasted Bells
but I prefer Grouse

I know I'm kinda new here

but of all the things I have seen you post I agree with this more than anything
