After the Lord Mayor's Show...

[grafikhaus]

I presume the council workmen have been up all night. I went past the Town Hall at 8.30 and all the 'banners' ('We are Premier League') on the lampposts have gone. Ditto the banner on the TH balcony - that's been replaced with some 'Missing Millions' shite - no doubt the latest PC bollocks.
The only evidence that last night ever happened is the sign outside the O2 Academy where the upcoming bands normally goes - it says 'Like A Night Out In Sheffield'.
So it would appear that SCC can act promptly.
When they want to.

Didn’t stop a couple of cunts whinging about the mess left behind 10 mins after everyone left

The only cunts are the ones who tip their litter all over the streets.

It was a mess but the council street cleaners were there as soon as everyone left.

You could say that people should put their rubbish in the bins but they were already full and they’d only need emptying anyway. So leaving on the ground for street cleaning team to sort after probably made sense.

It’s not japan where everyone takes their rubbish home

In my youth (late 70s) I had a summer job as a road sweeper in Blackpool, mainly around the Golden Mile promenade. Occasionally holidaymakers would throw some litter in front of my brush with a 'there y'are mate'. Like it was a tip. Naturally, I was always appreciative.

Saw them taking them down about midnight... asked if I could have one and the mardy git said no!

 

[Northyorksblade]

Everyone was happy to bring their flags and beer with them. Why couldn't they take them home with them?

Littering in a city is probably more environmentally friendly than putting it in a bin considering that cities are essentially huge bits of litter. Put them on floor and you're just adding to the litter pile, put them in a bin and they probably get dumped in the sea and suffocate a few dolphins.

If you dump them in the city, they'll still end up in landfill or the sea, you just have the issue of the council employing someone to pick it up for you.

It's fine though, councils are flush with cash

Too much like hard work for some people.

No, it’s nasty little England where the ignorant, flag-waving yobs live.



Proud Englishmen.

You really are odd sometimes.

What relevance is this to the thread?

Well they could hardly leave them up and offend the Wendy scum and their loving councillors, obviously if Wendy do ever achieve anything they will be permanent fixtures.

That's my point. Now that the World Snooker has moved on (which our 'Council' did their best to get rid of in the 70s because it was sponsored by a...smoking company) what's left to promote our city? The odd farmer's market? LGBT festival?
