Saturday's Hadleigh Breakfast Briefing

Saturday's On This Day

In 1958, the Litter Act came into force in London as part of the Keep Britain Tidy campaign. Offenders could be fined up to £10 for dropping litter. In the first year nearly 1,000 were prosecuted. These days the maximum fine is £1,000 but that does not stop some tossers.

Weather:

Sunny spells, especially at first, but cloud soon building through the morning. Scattered heavy showers then possible, with the odd rumble of thunder. Some parts likely staying dry, however. Maximum temperature 22c, low of 14c


Orwell Bridge:

Open


Joke of the day:

I have just applied for a job as a litter collector.

They asked if I had any relevant experience but I said I will just pick it up as I go along.

Did you groan? (send us your own favourite joke.)
