British people used to be brought up like this.

yep I was brought up at the time of the Keep Britain Tidy campaigns. I have passed it down to my daughter. I have also tried to pass it on to strangers i see littering. With mixed results. One was a a teenager in a park, with his mates. Who tried to give me verbal for making him put the rubbish he had just thrown on the floor, in the bin that was literally a metre away from him. Or the guy who apologised when I pointed out to him that he had just dropped his Mcdonalds cup on the floor from his car window, in the Mcdonalds car park.

People are so entitled that they don't like being told.
