The giant hedge across the road from me finally got trimmed  and made to look presentable by the new owners in the late 00's.<br><br>When they set to work on it they ended up pulling out hundreds of crisp packets and sweet wrappers that schoolkids had stuffed in on the way home from school after going to the shop.<br><br>There was a fair few old style walkers bags with the different font and transparent packets plus all kinds of Batman movie tie in sweet wrapper from '89 in the box they were chucking it all in. The further they dug in the older the design they pulled out.<br><br>There was easily 20+ years worth of "midden" in that hedge, which were protected from being sunbleached.
