Ever Had A Go At "Virtual Protesting?"

Our alleyway has been getting on my nerves for quite some time. It is a private alleyway but the Council spent a lot of money erecting gates on our behalf. You would think the residents would respect this and improve their behaviour regarding fly-tipping? Nope! They're still dumping crap left, right and centre and I, for one, have had enough. So I've emailed Carlisle City Council. I know that we will be bottom of the list regards a clean-up but that's not the point. The residents around here ALL need interviewing, including me as I've nothing to hide. There are two problems, one, many rent so come and go and two, they don't have transport so choose to dump their rubbish instead of getting it recycled. It's one thing that annoys me a great deal..the fact that many people today aren't bothered about their environment but are the first to moan to the Council about everything else under the sun instead.

I feel a virtual protest coming on about you lost discussion. I suppose that it was because you told a joke. That rubbish thing must be very frustrating especially as you have a private alley. Maybe you should start a residents association.

I suppose it's a way of expressing public opinion. Years ago snail mail was the preferred method but now, beam off an email and an inbox can get full in minutes. Saves paper too!

Yes, I agree. I have been tempted a few times to actually talk to someone face-to-face.
