To take pebbles from the beach?

Is it allowed? I'd like to put some borders around my flowers beds so need about 20 - 30 medium sized ones. I wouldn't take them all in one go, probably a handful at a time while dog walking.

Just wanted to check I'm not breaking the law/endangering the planet/taking the piss.

Lol. You linked to a google search that shows the very opposite of what you're saying. Clearly you have no idea what you're talking about.
You are either a really quick reader, or you’ve not bothered looking at that link. Regardless, it’s not my problem.

One last chance: what have you done to prevent climate change? Or were you too busy desperately trying to be funny?

Honestly just do it OP, just take a few nice ones at a time. No one cares apart from a few busy bodies
Why, when people disagree with the people following rules and laws, do they have to be so rude?

Where do the garden centres get beach pebbles from?!?! *
You'd think it was the beach wouldn't you?
There's actually a secret that not many people know. Garden centres are always strategically located on top of pebble mines. Because pebbles are only small, the machinery needed to retrieve them is too - so you don't see any winding towers etc like you would with coal mines etc.

As I said earlier, they supply beach keepers who need to replace purloined pebbles.*

I've been royally ripped- off by my garden centre then when I bought expensive Scottish beach pebbles from them that didn't even come from a beach 😡
