Damn right! Teach them to not dump litter as early as possible, I say!

I think we're moving into "tradition" territory now - it's OK to leave certain things, cos, well, cos they always have been! Yes, I'm thinking particularly of clouties. And if it WERE always turnips, then that, too, would be OK! In fact, the odd turnip wouldn't cause any harm anyway, would it? Or would it be like that old "Keep Britain Tidy" campaign: "My one piece of litter won't cause any harm" repeated by thousands of people... "My one little turnip won't cause any harm..."

Nigel! What have you started with your darned turnips?!?
