There seems to be red elastic bands on our pavements these days, every few hundred yards or so. Where are they coming from, are they being discarded by the postie as he does his rounds ? I’m thinking of the postman as the bands may be to hold his letters together or something. Is it just me that has noticed this :confused:
 
I sometimes ask my postie for some - he is always glad to get rid - they come in handy for sealing part used bags of frozen veg (instead of those fiddly twist ties)
 
Ahhh so it is the posties. You would think they would hang on to the bloody things or at least chuck 'em in the bin :rolleyes:
 
right or wrong
its nicer than having the streets littered with fag ends
more so outside public places IMHO:mosher:
 
It is the postman and, like Willow said, they should take them back for re-using.
 
I'm always finding them on the drive and even next to the front door, my Mum used to be a postie she said that they'd get in a lot of trouble if anyone complained, I haven't complained, dont seem to have the same postman everyday or I'd mention it to them.
 
It's not just our postie then, just wondered where the bloody things were comin' from. It's not right good tho when your local Postman Pat is littering up the bloody town on a daily basis. :rolleyes:

Agree its still litter, though thats nothing compared to the council who have left all our cardboard all over the place again, 2nd time they haven't collected:mad:

On another thread I saw that the bin chap who went around before the actual collectors was referred to as a “fluffer” ( apt name too ) You know the chap I mean, the one who puts the bins in position before the truck arrives, cardboard too for that matter. You must have the same fluffer as me mate :D
 
Maybe we can all collect them and take them to the next meet to make the ball:) I've had one at the front door for several days just keep walking past it, will pick it up and save it next time.
 
Would sooner our Post Office personnel stopped flicking their lassy bands around our streets...hope one gets fined by an over enthusiastic local plod. Wonder if this is becoming a nationwide issue with the posties :rolleyes:
 
Maybe they're has hacked off has most other people who work in public services, doesn't excuse it though.
