“Lorraine said she received a box full of rocks in the post that also contained one her bottles with a message she’d written on the back of a John Lydon gig flyer, along with an angry note from a litter picker.
The note read: ‘Please stop throwing rubbish in the sea. It goes to Pevensey Bay or Normans Bay, one day later. Many thanks, a rubbish picker.’
The parcel cost her £7 to receive, which she said made the response particularly ‘nasty’.”

Environmental health will definitely be able to find her now she sold the story to the Metro, what a dumbass

Haha that’s hilarious and £7 is less than the fine for littering so she should consider herself lucky.

Who needs Tinder when you’ve got a bottle?

Imagine being so mental that you tell a newspaper that a stranger was rude to you, so that they can write a story about how mental you are.

Always thought there was something magical about a message in a bottle, but not using bloody plastic.

>Lorraine usually throws the bottles off Eastbourne pier in bulk, using plastic bottles rather than glass ones so they don’t shatter on their travels.
Yeah, Nah.
This is ridiculous behaviour from a grown woman. You can’t just fly tip your waste in the sea because you’ve written a note on or in it. Use your recycling bin and stop pollouting the sea and beaches.

Someone told her to get a boyfriend, she just needs the bottle to ask a guy out.

>‘It was a cowardly litter picker who sent me the response. I had to pay £7 to receive it. I think that it is really nasty. They were trying to make a point and teach me a lesson.’
Well that seals the deal on this woman being a massively entitled piece of shit, just in case the bulk plastic bottles in the sea didn’t do that already.
Also
>‘I probably won’t keep doing it. This has made me realise that environmental health could find my letters with my name and address and I might get in legal trouble.’
So she couldn’t give a shit about the wildlife or environmental impact, just any trouble it might directly cause her.
I am honestly flabbergasted and quite sad that we share the world with such people…

She throws them off “in bulk”?!?
And “Eastbourne Harbour have told me off before for throwing the bottles into the water, they keep trying to stop me.” People are real dumb.

She sounds like the loons who write to serial killers in prison

So, she is saying she might stop not because of the environmental damage she has been doing, but cos she might be done for pollution by the environmental agency? Selfish idiot.

>”I just wanted a bit of romance”
If she really wanted a fella then there’s probably a hotel nearby with people living in it who’d happily marry her even if she is as mad as a box of frogs.

Surely this cannot be the work of a sound mind. At least she’s finally stopping, even if her reasons are legal rather than moral…
Mrs-Jack on
I’d like to see her put in a bottle and throw into the sea.

This woman litters on a regular basis and doesnt get fined, and in the same week i read an article about a young woman who placed an envelope on some cardboard next to a recycling bin getting a £1000 fine.
The difference between councils is wild.

Surprised she hasn’t had one back from a Nigerian Prince with the amount she throws in the sea.

So she’s still on the market? *Checks breath, smooths eyebrows*

“people kept telling me not to do it, but I kept doing it anyway until I realised it could cost me financially”
What an arsehole.

yeah, fair play to the litter-picker. The two beaches he mentioned are right next to eastbourne – I guess he sees these bottles day after day, all the the same selfish bat’s name in them. How nuts would that drive you?

Absolutely irreseponsible, why can’t she just throw her old car batteries into the ocean like a normal person

While doing ecology surveys I once found some notes in bottles in the woods. Middle of nowhere. Inside were explicit photocopies of photos and a story about being lonely and being ugly enough to agree to stand in a clearing so you can view him from afar. I put the bottle back so hope he got his hole in the end.
Surely at that point the internet is more worth a go?

If they ever make a movie about this then Brian Cox would be perfect for the role.
Anachronatic on
Can we all now please finally agree that the whole message in a bottle thing has jumped the shark and we’re only to send them out if stuck on a desert island with no other hope of rescue? And then only in a glass bottle. Ta very much.

Absolutely superb work
