But back in the old days, when bin collectors would walk up your drive, go through to your back yard, pick up your galvanised steel binn, hoist it up onto their shoulders  take it to the bin lorry, empty the bin, then put it back....did you ever bother to clean that bin? I would suggest "no"

Just saw it on the news this morning and once again the human rights brigade et al are all moaning about this.

If you're not doing anything wrong you have nothing to fear......end of.

I would take a lot of persuading that this was an infringement of my rights, in a perfect world yes we wouldn't need such measures but unfortunately we do.
If this gets just one miscreant off the streets then it's worth it

Tagging on to this post I put out the black bin {household} for Tuesdays pick up.  Someone had put a sticker on the bins early morning so I had a look, it was for a bin cleaning service that comes round monthly and charges £6 per bin, and considering I have 3 bins that can run to a fair few bob in the year.

I clean out my maroon bin twice a year and my garden bin once a year, and with the black bin I put in wheelie bin bags and then tie them up on pick up day. The black bin was a replacement bin that I've had for about 5 years now and the inside is as clean as the day it was delivered using these bags.

A year's supply of bags for my black bin is less than a fiver.......plus there's no rubbish left on the road from my bin.

£6 per month.....it's a no brainer!

Politics / Trade deal with India

So Starmer is trumpeting the "massive" trade deal he has brokered with India.

Jobs and prosperity for both nations abound {apparently} but I'm just wondering if he took the time, whilst talking with India's Prime minister, to ask what was being done to close down the amount of scam call centres dotted around India that scam hundreds of U.K. {and elsewhere} citizens out of their hard earned cash.

There are rumours that D,T, got into the White House {the first time} because he is a Russian plant. There was a documentary on the box the other night and I taped it but only seen about 10 minutes of it so far. This could explain why there was such a mix up at the count when Biden was elected.

I know nothing about American politics but nothing would surprise me.


mmmm Dandelion or Marigold?

Talk about Starmer U turning what about Trump.......

A couple of months ago he:-
Stopped arming Ukraine because he accused them of starting the war with Russia
Said that N.A.T.O. was a spent force
Said he and Putin were "Getting on well"
NOW
He is arming Ukraine because he said Russia started the war
Having talks with N.A.T.O. because he thinks their the bees knees
Threatening Putin with heavy tariffs because he's not frightened of Trump.


He can't make his mind up and stick to anything.
Just a mouth piece on legs.
