We found that in all the towns & villages we visited in Germany, the locals kept the place absolutely immaculate.Litter was conspicuous by its almost complete absence, as the above photograph shows. Credit must also go to the many tourists who visit from a variety of destinations. It would seem that the good habits
of the locals are adopted by the visitors, because it is expected & is the normal.

BUT---how often do we find a street in a British village or town which is as litter-free as this?
