Ok so answer me this. What is the most disgusting thing you can tread in on the pavement?

We can ignore dog poop in this instance since, assuming the dogs not on a lead and is a free agent then dogs just do that sort of thing don't they. If there is a dog walker attached to the dog then that's a different matter but also not something I'm moaning about here.

No - right now I am fizzing my fuse over people who insist on hawking up the contents of their lungs and spitting it out on the pavement.

When I was a kid, gobbing on the pavement was the domain of the old smokey joes, methies and other tramps who wandered around, shouting incoherent ramblings (buggrit, buggrit, buggrit, millenium hand and shrimp) at all and sundry before ..... hawk, cough, spit.

Now it seems that EVERYBODY apparently regards street decorating by expectoration as totally acceptable!

We have these petty bureaucrats wandering round giving out on the spot fines for the dropping of the smallest crumb of sausage roll but drop a greeny on the pavement and it's my bet of a pound to a pinch of pig poop that you wouldn't see their ticket book for dust!

While driving my wife to work today, I watched a woman, well dressed and well turned out, obviously a white collar worker type (briefcase et al) stop, take a deep breath and... wallooop... a big one shot on to the pavement. She even bent to inspect it - good grief!

It's downright disgusting and is totally vile and unacceptable and we wont even go there about the spreading of infections.

I know they say that rubbing a dogs nose in it's 'mistakes' isn't a good idea but I'd love to grind the faces of these street spitters into their own deposits but I be I know who'd get prosecuted!

OK that's my whinge for the day. Take care and watch where you're putting your feet!.
