I'm back now.... Nice to see you managed to keep the place fairly clean and tidy while I was away. Can't see that anything's been broken, but I haven't looked behind the sofa yet
Travelling to different countries does make you realise how damn lazy this country has become and how little respect we have for our environment.
When you arrive at Olbia airport everything looks very clean, tidy, and fresh. It's almost like the airport has just been redecorated, even the toilets are absolutely spotless. It puts you in a great frame of mind about entering the country.
Arriving at Gatwick however is a totally different, and frankly embarrassing experience. In contrast to Olbia's bright marble style flooring, Gatwick is grey and drab. All down the walkways there is rubbish and huge piles of dust. You find airport staff sat where ever they feel like just looking like they don't want to work. The first set of toilets you find after getting off the plane stank and had dried pee stains all over the floor.
I know what I would think if I was arriving here for a holiday...

Re: Back from Holidays
Welcome home.
Litter and crap is a big problem now. The Councils are offering rewards if you grass someone up for fly tipping and they're prosecuted.
I do hate litter. It's very lazy to drop things.

Re: Back from Holidays
Sounds like your experience back in the country isn't a good one. We all seem to close our eyes to all of this stuff and just seem to live in our own little worlds. Some are very selfish and litter wherever they fancy and I for one hate it. Always have hated it. If I was caught littering by me Mum or Dad I'd of got a smack! What's happened with this country. I agree with you as well, visit other countries and they seem to look after things and where they live, we don't seem to care.
Funny I had a argument earlier this morning over the same conversation!!
