Street sweeping in Nottingham appears to have suddenly gone high tec with the introduction of this giant vacuum cleaner. Gone are the days when men went out with brushes and swept the streets clean. Now all they have to do is walk the streets and suck up the litter. Ideally of course, people should drop their rubbish in the bin, rather than on the ground. But no matter how many signs are put up, education, and discipline, people are either just too lazy or too stupid to keep their city clean.
It would put these men out of work if all folk were good.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the lazy and stupid stuff... but I think selfish sums it up more accurately. Why should people bother to put stuff in bins when there's always someone to pick up their rubbish... like the guy in your picture?
ReplyDeleteAnd there are still some traditional brush and barrow men, but they tend to be reserved for places like Radford that don't have to look as smart as the city centre.
