I had gone to Golden Butts Recycling centre, my car filled with half a dozen bin bags of cans and plastic bottles and as I was unloading my car a black 4WD pulls up and a lady gets out with a carrier bag. The lady stopped to read the instructions on the side of the plastics container, which clearly states "No yoghurt pots" and then proceeded to post dozens of yoghurt pots into the skip. Stupid.
Just as stupid is the lady I once saw there pulling up in her Toyota Landcruiser Planetdestroyer, who then got a single empty bottle of Ty Nant from the boot to recycle. 1 trip to recycling centre in giant petrol guzzling 4WD to recycle a single bottle = stupid.
While I am having a general rant about the people who live in my town, how about Mums driving their children to school. I often hear people say that the roads are far busier than they used to be and that consequently it isn't as safe as it used to be for children to walk to school. Well, if you stand at the Dalesway traffic lights in a morning as all the Ilkley kids are being driven to school you will be able to see for yourself why the roads are so dangerous - it's Ilkley Mums talking on their hand held mobile phones while driving through town with a car load of kids. Seriously folks, who can afford a Lexus RX450 but cannot afford a hands free kit to go with it ?
