(What do you mean, a bit extreme ?)

Works even better if you delete the word "it"!

as people have been saying all week on the news - where are the parents?  And more importantly why are they not teaching their children how to behave.  I am shocked at how many children don't say please or thank you these days.  I encourage my son at every stage to be polite to everyone and respect other people's property (clearly something that most of those involved with this week's trouble do not understand). Lynm - I would like to say that I can't believe a child climbing on your car, but sadly it seems to be norm these days of children having no or little respect for others these days.

Call me old fashioned, but I believe that you should treat others as you wish to be treated and that extends to belongings too! I have been ashamed to be british at points this week although all of those wonderful people that have turned out to clean up have renewed my faith in people and shown that it is only the minority that are scum! It is likewise on the campsites....... its always the minority that ruin it for the majority!

doesn't leaving a mess just keeps someone in work

Before the rage starts that is not my opinion but is the excuse I repeatedly hear from people who drop litter, cigarette ends etc.

Last time we were away at a very busy campsite every moring and evening sinks covered in toothpaste drips, soap, shaving foam complete with stubbly bits and hair, showers covered in mud and grass. Talc on the floor and worse, I will spare the details. Each day a pile would form on a window ledge - toiletries, socks and underwear (yuk) that had been left behind.

The basic problem is a lot of people do not give a monkeys about anything or anyone other than themselves, or they are used to their wife, mother or significant other picking up after them

I used to work with young children and one of the new ways of thinking that came down from above was that we couldn't actually ask a child say please or thank you....sorry but that was one 'rule' that was ignored totally. My kids can be little b's at home but the feedback I get from other parents/neighbours/shopkeepers is how polite and well mannered my children are. Do they stand out from the crowd because of this???

I find gents toilets are so much cleaner than the ladies when doing rounds. Last year when filling toilet rolls up, a women walked out of a cubicle and there was poo everywhere. I mean everywhere... up walls, on the floor etc. So i made her clean it up, she was very drunk but had i not been there she would have walked out without a care in the world. Fortunately other campers were there too so could see what we have to put up with by the minority that are animals. No respect for themselves or others.
