Is your neighborhood cleaner?

and he was glove less I bet, still I suppose he was glad to have a scoop

Oh that brings back haunting memories of that one time when I saw men cleaning up trash on the train tracks - no gloves, nothing, just garbage bags to toss it into.

Eeeeeeeuuuuuuuuu!

I think Hurghada is cleaner, may not be noticeable to those who see it every day but I hadn't been in for a month and it looked cleaner to me. Not clean, just cleaner. Could be because it was a few days after the President's visit. Was told he didn't have any roads closed for him, a pleasant change.

I had to smile yesterday as I drove behind a bin wagon, having watched the guys chuck a pile of festering rubbish in the back (bare hands), which they then climbed on top of and sat down to lunch (bare unwashed hands).

There's a growing mountain of rubbish piled in my street, with no signs of it going anywhere. I did think of planting an Egyptian flag on the summit to make a point, but decided that might be seen as disrespectful to my hosts.

Why dont you attach the "national" flower instead, the supermarket platic bag...mind you, coming to think of it, thats too subtle.
