It has come to my attention that far too many red rubber gloves are being left on the highways. I could start a shop up selling them, there are so many. See how many you can spot in a week, my record is 141, but I do drive a lot of miles. Be warned though, it is addictive and we should always remember to pay full attention to the road. I'll wager you will see more than you bargained for. Lord knows where they come from, perhaps they all 'fell off the back of a lorry!'

Can't say that i've seen many round here Andy, plenty of flattened squashed wildlife on the country lanes but no red rubber gloves LOL

It's all very strange isn't it? I often pause to wonder when I spot a shoe/trainer/jacket/sock/woolly hat/t-shirt lying in the gutter, and on one occasion recently whilst strolling through Perry woods, a pair of 'underpants' hanging from a branch.

Perry woods eh? Sounds like very strange goings on (or off) there Sue! And Lyn, if you look carefully, I promise you'll notice loads of gloves. Honest.

I agree Andy, I have seen plenty of red gloves on the road and so yes, where do they come from, who does or did own them? But probably more disgusting is the carrier bags that hang from branches on the hedges/tree's. Some people have a very warped sense of humour, and you won't want to know what they have deposited in the carrier bag! Needless to say there aren't enough toilets/restrooms on the motorways!

Hmmmm. I know what you mean Ron. On a serious note, I have just looked at your website Ron and I'm 'well impressed' as the carrier bag throwers would no doubt say. I MUST join you on the tour one day!! By the way, answer your mobile when it rings Ron LOL.

The mobile did ring, but I was upstairs and it was downstairs, so whilst I heard it I didn't manage to get to it in time. I don't return calls unless I know where/who they are from for fear of being ripped off by some nut who wants to steal my credit! As for the tour, just let me know when you are this way with 3 or 4 hours to spare.
