  1. You never hear about these warden nazis issuing fines to addicts who comsume McDonalds, KFC, Pizza Hut,Coca Cola Amatil and such that litter streets or bus stops after a feast waiting for their limousine.
    Its quite visible more so to me than ash from a cigarette unless these wardens crawl on their hands and kneees with a microscope, l sometimes pick this garbage up and place it in a bin which is usually near a bus stop that junk food addicts find too hard to do.
    Are these wardens scared of pigs with an eating addiction thats socially acceptable and cool?
    l'd be a frigging nazi if l spotted that kind
    as a warden taking photos and fingerprinting on the spot sending the bill to the providers of the addiction..Ha.
