Photo-a-Day  (Thursday, 10th March, 2011)

Is there a point to taking pictures like this.

Heinz used to dump the same stuff in a hole down Crooke fields and there was another one in the wood on the side of Gathurst lane.

It's certainly not a 'Beautiful Britain' Calendar pic, 'betty'! But the first comment from 'Mick' shows there was a point in publishing it, as well as taking it. If Heinz have indeed caused waste to be dumped in the countryside where it is visible like this, they need to be told to clean it up.
Perhaps Brian could start a new feature on WiganWorld - "Grotspots of Wigan". I've a few shots of rubbish-strewn places to contribute. It might move the Council to do something about them - or there's a remote possibility that fly-tippers might stop defacing our streets and fields with their rubbish.

Yes Betty they bring back memory's and if you look at the base of the hexigon shaped bottle you will see that its made in Great Britain.

Do you remember Great Britain.

calm down everyone its only a photo.if this pic were in a art gallery you would`nt say sod all. its called a creative picture so all chill and take a step back and listen to yourselves

The Rev Long's right, a full bottle of ketchcup thrown away on a bottle dump ?

It always surprises me that our councils can find funds to edify their time in office but have no money when it comes to clearing up eyesores.

Wonder if that tomato sauce is still edible? It must have been in the eighties when Heinz moved to squeezy bottles?

The Rev's in cuckoo land again.

Its nice to see people being able to "ketch up"on topics of conversations that cause some "sausy comments"!

I think the picture "speaks"!

If anyone's in cuckoo land it must be John.....!!

The only way we are ever going to sort out the litter problem is to pick it up ourselves. Stop saying it is the councils problem. Next time you go out in the country tske a bin bag and collect litter. If we all did this, it would soon make a massive difference. Nice photo Stuart.

I agree, Helen. There goes negative MCP John again !
Not peeling potatoes today John.. we are eating out....lol
Best wishes to you all the same

Point taken Tricia and Helen, but what is MCP??? Hope you enjoy your meal.

re- Burtspieeater, the only way we can sort out the litter problem is , if you take it with you ,bring it back home with you . anglers do well majority do well meant though to burt

Roman needs to learn how to write a simple sentence.

Roman, whilst I agree with your sentiments that will only stop things getting worse, to clear the problem we already have, we need everyone to pick up what is already on the ground.

No, not literate...just cant understant you Roman.

Thank you for your kind remark , John.. we enjoyed the meal. I now feel a bit mean for calling you a Male Chauvinist wotsit.. no offence intended ! Best get back to my potatoes...lol Best wishes.

No offence taken Tricia, this is what Wigan World's all about opinions. Now hurry, get back to peeling those potatoes.
