Southcoastpete Feb 2018 1:17pm, 16 Feb 2018 5,614 posts	0 Southcoastpete Interesting thread. I did an organised beach clean in Brighton last year, for the Marine Conservation Society, and I was amazed at the amount of small plastic washed up by the sea. Something I did notice was the number of seals from plastic water bottles that we picked up.

Carpathius Feb 2018 5:12pm, 16 Feb 2018 13,678 posts	0 Carpathius I really wish we could get our milk delivered in glass bottles but the only way to do it is Milk&More which don't deliver every morning and deliver in our area about 10 am,too late for us, in summer the milk sits in direct sunshine - if the local yobs don't get hold of it first
