Shame, boys

This is about the two young boys, maybe thirteen or fourteen, walking out the Castlemartin road at 11.40 this morning, eating sweets and what looked like ice lollies.

And one of them simply tossed the bag in which they'd got the goodies onto the hedge at the back of Cross and Passion. Not even deliberately, just as a matter of course. A reflex of habit, no thought involved.

I was driving in a moving line of traffic, and couldn't stop to ask him to pick it up. But, shame, boys. Shame on your parents too.
