She says the church grounds were already a dumping ground for fly-tippers and that she initially thought they may have caused the mess.
I have a question. What are fly tippers?
Its a good thing it was later in the evening and no one was seriously injured.

Well without being demeaning/ spiteful, Croydon (Norbury is a borough of Croydon) is supposed to be a little 'rougher' than elsewhere--the whole city south of the Thames and Lambeth/Southwark is allegedly that way...so I guess in that sense it's not surprising--disappointing, but not surprising. Another nod to the group's truly humble, grassroots origins.

Thanks for the answer. It is really a problem that exists everywhere, but a church lawn

Hey, my parents are ministers. You'd be surprised how disrespectful people can be to a church.

Actually, not surprised at all. I help with the cleaning of ours and even our own members make messes they leave for others. They can't even be bothered to wipe their feet before coming in.
