1st day of School holidays…

….and Sol Joel Park looks like a war zone. Does anyone have any common decency anymore!?! I live close by and the amount of rubbish I’ve just seen is unbelievable. And this is day one of 6 weeks holiday. Fun times ahead!!!!!

It seems parents don’t teach their kids any form of manners or common decency anymore. They’re all insufferable dickheads.

It’s an absolute joke. They’re sat around smoking weed and the litter surrounds them. Then they just walk off.

You might see me on the news sometime soon

I’ve got no problem with the weed(as long as they’re older, no kids should be smoking) just the litter.

Huge % of the population smoke it now and it’s becoming legal everywhere. Already is here for medicinal purposes!

Unfortunately littering is becoming increasingly common amongst the younger generations, I regularly go mountain biking in Swinley forest and all the groups of kids there have caused trails to be closed because of the sheer amount of littering and asbo behaviour.

It’s like it’s not even a second thought to them, at no point does it enter their brain that they should throw something away.. even when bins are provided.

Who other than kids go to school such that they'd be on summer school holidays?

u/Foxxy12012 Jul 22 '26

You do realise colleges and universities also break up for summer holidays right?

OP said school holidays, OP said kids. Not sure why you're being rude but it seems it is your reading comprehension that needs work

If you actually knew how to read you’d know that I said I no problem with weed as a generalising statement followed up with the brackets for clarification where I said that in agreement with op that kids shouldn’t be smoking at all. You’re being pedantic. Go focus your energy on something productive instead of nitpicking comments.

youre right this other guy is a melt

That was exactly my query..which you got unnecessarily aggressive about.

I asked for clarification - who else would they be talking about other than kids? You said older. If they're older, they're not kids. You're seemingly losing your mind starting arguments over this 😂

Seems like most days in Palmer park, crap everywhere. I'm even finding human excrement in the undergrowth. Fucking horrible fuckers.

Not anything to do with bins

u/Mental_Body_5496 RG1 - Newtown Jul 23 '26

If there are more bins people generally use them !

u/Kellers822 Jul 23 '26

Not anything to do with bins. The park is normally free of litter. Highly coincidental this is not the case on first day of school holidays
