I got stuck on a sticky lollipop!

[poppylucky]

I grimaced when i came across loads of sticky sweets and toffees littering the pavements.

I was walking through the East Dulwich Estate and was walking on the pavement side when i trod on a half eaten lollipop, it stuck to the underside of my shoe and i almost went flying when it stuck to the ground like glue! then a few metres away were a trail of sticky strawberry laces.

I was intrigued and followed the mess across Dog Kennel Hill and saw a group of young kids and their parents strolling along squabbling about what pic 'n'n mix was best, eating the sweets then spitting them out! I thought that was disgusting and had a good mind to tell off the parents who did'nt seem in the slightest concerned the sticky mess they were leaving behind, littering our environment.

Good. Maybe it will stick up your fingers and stop you posting tedious trollings.

Poppy, may I suggest you change your name to PoppyUNlucky?

[KalamityKel]

What on earth prompted you to report such things at that unearthly hour?

Does not ignoring the issue (by not saying anything to the litterers) make one as bad as them these days? Turning a blind eye and all that?

Tut tut

Are halluciagenics still pop-u-lar with the yoof?

Hansel and gretel live on that estate.

Yes you are right, i should have actually held those litterers to account, but was bit intimidated by them to be honest as they had one of those bull terrier type dogs that looked quite menacing, aswell as the adults themselves!. so no i thought it wise not to say anything just in case they turned on me. In many cases i would'nt have hesitated but i did then and for good reason.

You certainly seem to be experiencing life in all its rich tapestry Poppy!

And the trolley? Did you get fizzy cola bottles stuck in the wheels?

No need to be cynical H.

Popsi has had an unfortunate experience.

I think we should start a collection to take Poppy on a nice day out around ED - we could hire a double decker bus (sans conductor) and go on a day trip, via the nice sweetshop on Northcross Road - we would sing happy songs to her and she could leave the trolley at home because the gentlemanly folk (or ladies!) of the forum would carry her bags. There'd be cake and ginger pop and nary a pit bull or hoodie in sight.

[Tony.London Suburbs]

Excellent idea Rosie!

Thought the prospect of Ladies carrying the bags was a bit surreal but other than that...:)

Get the Ginger bread man onto it, he sorts out all confectionary issues, you can get his details from the Muffin man of Drury lane. They usually send the tooth fairy round and she lays into their molars "big time".......it's a slow process is the justice system, but in a democracy it's all we have.

Keep 'em peeled.
