It's a pity it's not enforced more - I hate to see litter everywhere.

Oma - do you remember Corona pop bottles with the stopper where you pushed down a sort of metal hinge to fasten it?
I also remember sterilised (long-life) milk in a tall glass bottle with a crown cap like beer."Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognise how good things really are. "

I hated sterilised milk as well. My dad sold it in the shop, but we had Co-op milk delivered!
But - my dad used sterilised milk to make the most amazing ice cream to sell.

1976
The first observation, by Dean R. Campbell, of the day marked as ‘International Left Handers Day’ which has been celebrated every year since. Around 10 per cent of the world’s population is left-handed, including the webmaster of this website, scientist Sir Isaac Newton, former prime minister David Cameron, the wartime prime minister Winston Churchill and also Prince William, the future king. Left-handed people have been considered unlucky and even evil - the word "sinister" comes from the Latin word for left. In Britain in the Middle Ages, "lefties" were associated with the devil and often accused of the crime of witchcraft, meaning they would get burned at the stake.
I hadn't heard of this day. DD2 and GS2 are left handed.“A grandchild fills a space in your heart that you never knew was empty.” – UnknownComment
