OT: Costa customers and reading?

Scott expressed precisely :

Local public bins all have notices on them asking everyone to not use them (because of reduction of services due to the virus), but take their rubbish home.

So house rubbish collections are unaffected by Covid, while street ones are? Why would that be?

It happens that Dave Plowman (News) formulated :

I have absolutely no idea, but as you say household bins are being collected as normal.

We've had a fairly desperate problem round here with littering on the commons etc being so much worse than in normal times. But then they've been much busier too. However, if it were down to bins not being emptied, you'd expect much of the extra rubbish to be beside them - when people take things there only to find them full. But not so. Just some people acting as they always do.

You should never have encouraged Gareth to Google 'lemon party'; he hasn't bean the same since!

You should give One Man One Jar a google, Jim. See if you can make it all the way through the video without screaming. I didn?t. Thanks, Jim.

It helped him understand than geriatric man love is a perfectly natural thing and nothing to be ashamed of. Poor Old Burt.

Burt's got enough on his plate with Evans flashing his knickers at him and telling him how handsome he is.

Poor Old Burt.

He's screaming about BBC bias now.... have the kids put some dog eggs through his letterbox for New Year's Eve?

With schools remaining closed due to plague, Burt?s got at least a couple more weeks of scraping dog toffee off his doormat and replacing snapped off car aerials. Poor Old Burt.

Are your local schools not running online lessons. My hill walking partner is a supply teacher he is semi retired and normally does the odd day but during the lockdowns has been working solid earning a fortune running on line lessons for schools all over but mainly Lincolnshire and Bucks at twice his normal rate.

You may find that the waste is not "sold" but your local council pays to have it recycled.
