I THINK putting up boards in the town centre for people to stick chewing gum to is a disgusting idea, and unhygienic.

May I suggest that the tackling the problem at source, collecting all the gum up and returning it to where the it came from.

While we are about it we should return a few other things to the country of origin, such as graffiti, baseball caps, junk food outlets, double yellow lines, 4x4s, skateboards, baggy trousers, scruffy dress, screaming caterwauling that passes for music, and a general attitude of disrespect for authority of any kind. Need I go on?
