Don't we all Teresa and I wasn't criticising but when I read through, I thought a couple of your contributors were getting a bit over excited:) But then I've woken up about half an hour ago and am very narky myself. Need more tea:)

Two sugars in mine, while you're there....


On the issue of bin bags, we dont' get them either. We have wheelie bins now, mostly two in this area, and as there are a lot of terraced houses with no front gardens and either shared back access or none at all, most of these bins are now cluttering up the kerbs, causing problems for pedestrians, especially down my side of the street. It's a busy road, so cars are parked on the pavements, bins and placed on the pavements and you'd need to be stick-man to get between them.

Not only that, but they are unsightly bright blue for recycling. Why not green, like the glass recycling boxes we also have to use.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm all for recycyling, and love it that it's been made as easy as possible for us all, including those who don't have the transport to lug tons of rubbish down to recycling points, but what a mess!

There, another little gripe LOL

Lol at Uzzi ( just got back from Asda , with the 'best cough medicine' I hope! ) , Just call me Mrs Fagin ;)

We do recycle as much as we can and luckily here the council is good, also at Asda there is a recycling centre for pretty much everything else .

What about the mail order firms you may have dealt with that send you catologues every month. No amount of complaining to them does any good.

I get endless paper adverts through the door everyday but although it goes into the bin to be recycled I have a thought for those people who are doing the posting through my door in all weathers.

Some are young and a lot are older so I don't know if they are doing anything they can to keep food on the table and a roof above their heads. They may have lost their jobs and just trying to earn a crust so I can't grumble (it could be me or mine tomorrow, or you).

On the other hand I do object to the Post Office putting lots of garbage through my door (poor postman who has to lug it around) which seems to be more important than my bank statements etc. because the garbage earns them money and is a priority which gives them the mega bucks before all else.
