Someone has now moved it back onto their property and I guess the street cleaners have cleared up after them as it was all tidy this morning

More of a problem is people putting out bags that are raided by the gulls then think that the mess is not their responsibility after the bin men have been.

Junction of Longfield Rd and Belgrave Rd today, used to be every week and I thought they had seen the light at last but now restarted.

Ok in principle but will the fines ever get paid even if the offenders get caught.

One of the 'problems' is that the 'binmen' are employed under contract to empty the free containers which DDC provide and take away the purple bags, again provided free, from those who do not have wheelie-bins.
They are not employed to scour the streets once a fortnight for old supermarket bags and black bin liners which the stupid put out.
Furthermore IF the plastic bags were not full of rotting food (which should be collected once a week from your green seagull/fox proof receptacle) they would be of no interest to the fauna of Dover. Unfortunately the stupid can't be bothered separating the detritus they build up over a week during their sad little lives of over-consumption.
For all we moan about our continental neighbours they do not seem to have that problem over there because a) they take some pride in their environment and b) do not expect the council/government to clothe them, feed them, tidy up after them, doing everything but wiping their fat tattooed arses.

Wide of the mark there Captain, where I live our continental neighbours are responsible for the vast majority of rubbish on pavements including post 4.

Do all our continental neighbours have fat tattooed arses?

I was referring to our continental neighbours when they are on the continent, not when they have come over here to help us make the multi-cultural and vibrant society we daily celebrate.
The 'fat tattooed arses were indeed mainly home-grown.
