Wales & wendy, as you may know many years ago people were poor but almost everyone swept outside their houses. Litter was not dropped in the street and although dilapidated and looking their age, buildings and areas were clean and tidy. Vast numbers of people no longer care, they just drop litter or dump rubbish willy nilly. You must remember chalking the hop-scotch squares on the footpath. That was all you would see in the way of graffiti. Now councils allocate a wall for graffiti and will give a child an A.S.B.O. for playing hop-scotch.

I had another thought about rubbish. If you think about it we would save a lot of so called rubbish like paper bags plastic containers washing up bottles we used for many things now these are all thrown away. It's difficult to draw hopscotch on tarmac I think we had the best of times as children.
