What does go into my sacks?

I am being very brave about the occupational injury I experienced today on Wigan Rd, Lathom. Of course, like many such injuries it was all down to being distracted  even so that nettle had a pretty fiercesome sting. Not withstanding I did manage to collect 2 bags of rubbish and I have to say it was one of the most bizarre combinations of items I have yet picked up. On the bright side the 6p will go into the Prostate Cancer UK moneybox.

I do wonder sometimes about the personal and valuable items which find their way on to the roadside verges. Previously, I found this whole wodge of documents and cards (not including bank cards) dating all the way back to 1998. Couldn’t work out the scenario but they definitely had been dumped en masse. There was nothing more recent and nothing of value but it has played on my mind as to whether I should have handed them in to the police.

Today I gathered up a parking ticket issued at Ormskirk Hospital in August and still in its wrapper and, more concerning. a bank card. It did look like it had been there a while so I brought it home and chopped it up.. 


More mundanely, I picked up this crushed bucket, this load strap and this promotional sign. It does get me a little annoyed when notices are put up along our roads solely for commercial reasons and are left. Incidentally, Cramford House is a collection of apartments on Ruff Lane, Ormskirk. As you can see, that sign has been littering the hedgerow for some time.
