52-year-old Cecil the campervan still helping clear UK coast of plastic

Steve Green says vehicle, bought in Australia in 1998, is on way to totting up million miles

But Steve Green is prouder than most of his van - rejoicing in the name Cecil - which is well on the way to totting up a million miles and still gainfully employed clearing the Cornish coast of plastic.
