A while ago, we used to write an occasional column in Ziarul Financiar. Nothing spectacular, just the usual man in the pub rantings of a chippy expat. The archive, should anyone be remotely interested, is here.
Anyway, someone who is interested is someone called Maria-Cristina Serban, who keeps sending us emails with little comments, the main point of which appears to be that Naples is a far worse place than Bucharest.
Here’s last night’s email:
Naples is far more plagued by litter than Bucharest.
That came in response to my article in ZF where I said:
Litter is a problem everywhere. The fact that people should have a little more civic pride and not actually drop litter is a story for another day. What is needed first is a prolonged clean-up campaign. If people actually saw their city clean for once they may think before throwing McDonald”s packets out of their car windows (though then again, they may not…)
So, Naples has more litter than Bucharest. Never said it did not. In fact, we fully agree. But it doesn’t mean that it’s OK to litter the streets of Bucharest.
Or does it?
