I WAS driving my friends, who arrived last week from America to Bournemouth, and felt really ashamed driving down the A338 past all the discarded fast food wrappers that cover the verges.

Each piece of litter is caused by a selfish person who cares more about the interior of their car than other people’s environments.

My friend commented on how dirty Britain was and he is from New York.

So thanks to all the slobs that are making my country look like a rubbish tip.

Oh and it’s my hard earned money (all of ours) that goes into cleaning it up.
