Who cares?

Whats all the fuss about? I am more concerned about rising crime and rising gas bills to worry about a few bluebells that eco hippies are telling us are important to the enviroment.

Sorry to come across not very enviromental but bluebells are the least of my worries.

   It's hard to believe how selfish and tight some people can be. These actions are detrimental to the local environment and detract from the pleasure these areas give both local residents and visitors to the town.

If you want a souvenir of your trip to the countryside, take a photograph.
