To remove a pebble from a beach?

[Pigeonpoodle]

I saw this on another thread… Apparently “everyone knows that’s wrong!” I’ve very occasionally taken the odd interesting pebble as a momento. AIBU to have done that… What on earth could be the problem with it? One pebble amongst billions!

Is he a relation to the caterpillar of the same name?

If so, the caterpillar has made a much bigger success of his life. It must be a source of great friction in the family.

He’ll be posting on here soon. ‘My brother is so much more successful, popular and wealthy than me and I’m jealous.”

🤣🤣🤣

I will pick a few wildflowers, it’s the same as foraging surely.

I’ve got some lovely pebbles from beach trips when my kids were little.

I know this isnt a pebble on a beach but years ago I went to Ayres rock when you could get near it and climb up it. Everyone I was with took a piece, I didn't as I did not want to get jinxed so I refused. But imagine everyone did, there wouldn't be anything left, I imagine it would be similar

Where do landscape warehouses get their pebbles and shingle from

They're cousins

But you're right, there is huge jealousy between them and Colin Crab started working with Aldi the other year to make Cuthbert the Caterpillar to undermine that side of the family.

Complete estrangement now.

It’s a bit different. Ayers Rock (Uluru) is a holy place. Brighton beach isn’t.

Some might think so 🤔 🤣🤣

It's not legal to forage everywhere. Where I live foraging in the local forest is illegal, particularly fungi.

i know of people who make thigns and sell them out of sea glass

AI suggests: Estimates for the number of pebbles on Brighton beach range from approximately 614 million to over 100 billion, depending on the area measured and depth considered. A 1999 study suggested roughly 100 billion standard 5cm pebbles exist along the 10km stretch from Brighton Marina to Hove Lagoon.

You are not going to have any impact at all taking a pebble home from a beach. Hope that helps.

Probably not the best idea. Take them to the tip if you want rid

i dont see why not

Apparently absolutely not.

What a silly thing to say.

You don’t see why you shouldn’t take your garden rubble and deposit it at the beach?
🤷🏻‍♀️

A quick google will tell you why it’s discouraged

Same as you.
I've done it in the past. I now understand why it's wrong.
I won't do it going forward.

It’s not really though is it. What if we all decided to dump our unwanted garden waste at the beach? And that’s not even starting on the environmental impact

no one mentioned rubble

I thought pp was talking about stones?

i can't see any information at all

YANBU, one pebble would cause no harm

If you’ve dug it out of your garden, it doesn’t belong on a beach, whatever you want to label it as.
