A lot of people seem to like these posters. But they're not ours. Not sure we should use the term 'womblecock' in our communications 😲. We like it that someone out there is very passionate about anti-littering. We are too. Please don't pretend to be us though👍
Okay. You spoke, we listened. So here it is - our very own ‘Don’t be a tosser’ campaign, inspired by our friends at
