Only rain in the drain
We can almost already hear old CapeTalker's phoning into John Maytham's afternoon show.
In a subtle move to bring greater public awareness of the knock-on effects of littering, the city of Cape Town have been painting these simple messages at various drains around the Sea Point area.
And as a result, we can almost already hear old CapeTalker's phoning into John Maytham's afternoon show, bitterly complaining about the NikNak packet they spotted in the street, en route to the ocean via the stormwater system.
But if a simple painted-message ends up reducing the volume of rubbish that the city needs to clear out of the drain network, then it's obviously a worthwhile PSA.
And gives the blue-rinse brigade something new to stress about.
