Really ace tool! I carry it when out walking, along with a plastic bag. It folds and is quite small, litter-picking can become almost a hobby:0)
Toby Young and Griff Rhys Jones are fellow enthusiastic pickers

It has always been sacred
BUT - that doesnt stop people climbing to the top of St Paul's [ being sacred I mean just in case people think mentioning St P is a non-sequitur]
nor does it stop people going to St Peter's square um in Rome [ I only put that in to stop people posting 'where dat ven?' ] and wandering up to the obelisk there and wondering if that was one of the monuments C Gallus put up to himself in 40 BC in Egypt (yes it was)
or looking at Notre Dame ( Paris this time not Urbana Ill) as gothic architecture and not a religious centre....
or using cemeteries to picnic in ( described by Plutarch but still goes on)
or using cemeteries to live in ( City of the Dead, Cairo )
or just about anything else
let us also remember that the dingo dog that really DID grab Lindy Chamberlain's baby Azariah ( and eat it ) had its lair half way up Ayer's Rock. see https:/ /en.wik ipedia. org/wik i/Lindy _Chambe rlain-C reighto n
for those who are reflexly thinking to themselves - "Lindy hoo-berlain ? - who dat ven ? "
so Good bye Ayers Rock ..... EJ Thribb aged 17 (thanks to private eye)

nope - some of them clear the clag that gathers around the dumpiing ground on Reliance St., Newton Heath. More supervisors than punters as you can imagine.
Cantona who kicked the yob yelling at him - "F.O F.O get an early shower you buzzard" spent it coaching footie in local schools to general acclaim

A wealthy Texan goes to Paris and takes a chauffeured tour around the city.
1st stop, the Elysee Palace - "That's a might fine building - how many rooms does it have and when was it built?
"that was built, Sir, at the end of the eighteenth century and took twenty five years. 173 rooms."
"*** it, in Texas, my house has 225 rooms and only took 18 months to build."
Next stop, the Louvre. Same question.....
"that was built, Sir, in the middle of the eighteenth century and took forty five years. 558 rooms."
"*** it, in Texas that would take us two years."
Nex stop up the Rive Droite, Notre Dame
"That's a might church, when did they start building that and how long?"
"The twelfth century and theytook one hundred and sixty-eight years."
"*** it, in Texas, it would take two years, just as we built one in Houston."
The chauffeur turns into Boulevard Sebastopol and the Texan sees the Centre Pompidou.
"What in hell's name is that?"
"I don't know, Sir, it wasn't here yesterday."
