The Lolly-stick Dilemma

During the visit of our friends from the UK we cooled off with some ice-lollies, but then found ourselves with a dilemma: throw the sticks onto the rubbish along the street or hold onto them until we finally found a litter-bin. Any open land is a licence to throw litter. Four lolly sticks wouldn't have been significant but we held onto them until we found a litter-bin, which had an open piece of land immediately behind it full of rubbish - I felt guilty making the litter-bin untidy because there was nothing in it! The picture shows some of the open land behind our apartment which is typical of many places here. The moral of the story is buy an ice-cream cornet then there is no lolly-stick dilemma. P
