The picture shows the pavement ('sidewalk') of Turnham Green Terrace London W.4 yesterday afternoon. Like most of London's pavements it is covered in unsightly, disgusting chewing-gum abandoned or I suppose spat out, by disgusting chewing-gum users.
As a smoker, I am in today's super-state, treated like a leper; gum-chewers continue with this repulsive practice undisturbed.
Since improving the manners of the masses in this Age of the Common Man appears to be impossible, perhaps the makers of these revolting products might be prevailed upon to modify them so that they rot away - like horse-shit - or simply dissolve in the rain.
