With you on the litter thing, Jax. I think it’s more down to pride and respect for your surroundings than expecting others to clear up afterwards. It was very noticable when I moved house. In my old house, the street was run down and full of litter. I can’t say the culprits even gave a second thought as to whether their litter was picked up or not, and that goes for everyone from the actual residents to the school kids who trapesed up and down as it was a cut-through to the local (very popular) comp.

And well done on the interview front. Good luck.

Hmm, yes I confess to doing the same as Ros - although it did used to make me laugh when I was one of the people who’s job it was to put stuff back where folk dumped stuff and the thinking behind it. In your coffee eg you would not be surprised to see lots of jars of coffee abandoned in the cheaper coffee location, but finding stuff like beans in with the coffee is beyond me - you are walking along, trolley loaded with beans and suddenly you see the coffee and slap your forehead saying ‘of course, what a fool am I? It was not beans I needed at all to go with my morning croissant, it was coffee!!!’

Good luck for the interview - hope it goes well.

Way back in the days when HSBC was Midlands bank (and Unisys were Burroughs), my dad (as a Burroughs programmer) used to do a lot of work for them, and for some reason acquired some copies of their aptitude test - I was quite chuffed aged 10 or 11 or whatever to discover I could get a job with Midlands bank

Good luck with it all, anyway

I don’t drop litter but I do just put things back anywhere in shops ( unless fridge stuff) keeps someone in a job. When I worked in a big shop there was a girl there whose job that was so I always think of her LOL!

Ahhh, I *technically* don’t smoke - and have (and will) carry ciggie butts around till I find a bin to put them in - IMO it’s equally as bad as dropping any other litter on the floor.
