Guest guest Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 I saw an article on the internet news about ducks in the Worthing area in particular. Apparently the postmen are dropping their red elastic bands all over the place, and they are washing down (when it rains) into the ponds etc. The ducks think they are worms and try to eat them. The elastic bands get stuck around their beaks and necks! I do know that the postmen everywhere just throw their elastic bands on the ground - often in my front garden. I tried to find an address/contact for the Worthing Royal Mail, but didn't come up with anything. If there is anyone in that area maybe they could let me know a contact, and I will start a complaining campaign. Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Hi Jo You could report it to the police. Littering is a criminal offence - in Bristol, we have loads of adverts highlighting the fact that if you are caught littering you will be fined... perhaps a couple of postmen getting fined for littering would put a stop to it.
