There have been some complaints in our evening paper over the last few years about chewing gum discarded on the pavements.
If you walk round the city centre you will see small white splodges all over the place.......you wouldn't think the manufacturers could make so much of the stuff.
In fact, it's a small flat lichen that lives on the pavement. I read about it some time ago from a specialist in the subject.
It was more or less brought home to me when I walked off the pavement through a covered area and then back into the open air.
There was none in the covered section, although just as public.
A bad name given, in this case, to the makers of gum !
