who spit chewing gum out all over the place - it's everywhere - we should adopt Singapore laws and ban it - yuk

Not me can't chew gum and I don't like kids chewing it,but even worse those chewing nicotine free one they get more addicted to the gum as ciggarets,

A few years ago Maidstone introduced special boards for people to place used gum.
I thought they looked awful, but they did raise awareness of the problem of disposal.
Not sure if they kept the idea....?

they put gum disposal units all over Cardiff City centre but some idiots decided to set fire to them

A boss I once had realised I was interested in lichen and other primitive plants. One day, he asked me if I knew what the 'stuff' could, that he had noticed 'growing' on the ground around Bedford Place in Southampton (an area -at the time- with quite a few night clubs). I asked if it looked like the 'stuff' growing near a bin outside work.
'Yes' he replied, 'But there's much more in Bedford Place'.

.....It was very difficult explaining that it was chewing gum :-)

Have to admit to having a piece after a ciggie at work. BUT I put my fag end down a drain, and my chewing gum in a bit of tissue and throw it in the bin when I get back to the office. I have no intention of leaving my DNA around for anyone to pick up!!
I also hate chewing-gum 'gobbers'.

I have to admit to swallowing chewing gum if there's no place to dispose of it discreetly (despite what people have said, it doesn't take 7 years to pass OR wrap itself around your heart). Hate to see it clagged on the pavement.

Like maggiewinchester says, fag ends have to be disposed of sympathetically. I've got a tiny foldable ashtray from the poundshop that mine go in if there isn't a suitable receptacle. I hate to see fag ends lying on the pavement, especially around pub doorways since the smoking ban.

I could not understand this .................................


a well-known writer, artist and sculptor in Canada has got a new installation going in, in the centre of downtown Vancouver, right outside the Art Gallery.



It is a very large sculpting of his head ..................... and the intent is for people to stick their used chewing gum on it

Reminiscent of Emmin's 'bedroom'. We can all do it - but most of us have the decency not to!!

I still curse the idiot who left chewing gum on a tram seat.

:-P

Once when I had long hair somebody in the picture theatre threw a piece of gum and it landed on my hair at the back. I was NOT amused. :-|
