Rubbish

[Lady In Bed]

What a state Thurso beach was in tonight. Litter all over the place where picniks were held and you could not get down the steps onto the beach for teenagers hogging most of the steps and drinking. The language that they were spewing out of their mouths was vile. Shame on them![evil]

[Lavenderblue2]

Yes, an awful mess but it was only in one place adjacent to the bottom of the middle steps. Such a shame that the group of teenagers who left all that litter couldn't have picked it up. :(

We went for a ride out today to visit Dunnet Forrest for the first time ,and then on to Castletown beach for an hour.
We then went down the side of the river to the harbour at Thurso and sat in the car looking towards the beach.
There were more people on the beach than I have ever seen and my wife remarked how nice it was to see the youngsters fooling about and enjoying themselves.
It seems they have let the side down.

[dozy]

Same you didn't call the cops and get them lifted or at least and spot fine ..

Taking a chance there mate - anyone on here who knows you well enough to draw comparisons?

[sadam]

I was in the area of the beach last night and a young woman who had a few drinks came and did her toilet in someone's front garden, the poor lady form the house came out to her and tried to stop her but was given nothing but abuse. It's a dam disgrace how they cant conduct themselves any better than this, no wonder they get a bad name, theres always one who spoils it for the rest. I wouldnt have blamed this lady for reporting this behavour to the police.

[Dog-eared]

Why arent there more public toilets open in Thurso ??

[skinnydog]

Crikey I went to the beach for a walk with the skinny dog last night and it was awful. Kids themselves not too much of a problem, half of them were boozy but the funniest thing was seeing most of them sunburnt to a crisp!! Let them take it for the pain and suffering.

But the mess that they have made is less than funny. I am all for them having a great time and I know it has been said before but they should be made to tidy up behind them.

Toilets or not open in Thurso is hardly the point in this instance - and you may be right about lack of toilets. But if a woman decides to go into someones garden to do the toilet then that is to do with behaviour, upbringing, good manners, etc. and nothing to do with public toilets other than this pig did the toilet very publicly.

Irrelevant comment in this case regarding bins - there should be more. But those people were perfectly able to carry there food and drink to the beach so should have been pwerfectly capable of carrying it home.

[Torvaig]

Exactly Cattach! This morning a councillor's wife gathered four carrier bags of rubbish just from one corner. I said I wished I had some bags with me to help her and she replied that the bags she had used were part of the rubbish!
Another lady told me that she was part of a group that had done a beach clean just a few nights ago....
Someone else told me that she found the broken neck of a bottle up-ended in the sand just waiting for a victim. [evil]

[Ash]

She should have called the police straight away. That's intolerable behaviour. While waiting for the police she should have dumped a bucket of cold water over the brat. "Just flushing!"

[sadam]

I think it is all about the bringing up but even the parents dont know what the kids do once they are out, they seem to follow the next one then. I do feel for the lady house owner but I dare say she was affraid they might target her house if she reported them, no win situ. Also this rubbish left on the beach means the little kids going to have some fun on the sand has all sorts to harm them. I dont want to think about it. I do think the police could take a walk along the sea front on good days just to let keep an eye ot it all.

Yes Trix, you are right. The bins that are there were overflowing so they are obviously being used and if there were more at least there is the opportunity for people to bin their rubbish.

Anything that encourages folk to do so is a plus....

She should have done really, but then again you are risking a confrontation arent you ??, I personally would have waited until she got settled and turned the hose on her. My local authority has ZERO tolerance for this kind of behaviour and their hard line seems to be working. Lot less drunks behaving this way and spoiling life for others.
