Are you the parent of a litterbug

Results | Messages
This is a poll for parents whose children drop litter.

If your children do not drop litter then you don't need to bother with this poll.

If you are a child (or parent) who drops litter please do my other poll called Are You A Litterbug at http://www.misterpoll.com/1134045470.html

When you have done the poll (or the other poll) please leave messages in the Talk About It section or if you are shy you can email me at Tiffany.Alver@systemcv.org.uk
