[pendy]

My first problem is that I am rarely there on the day Hyndburn empty our bin. Therefore I end up with a lot of rubbish, and have to ask a kind neighbour to put the bin out, and then back in.

My second problem is that Hyndburn seem incapable of understanding that I do not have a blue box. I have rung them to tell them so, with the result that I now have three blue bags! Since in my household bottles are a regular item (make what you will of that!), I now have a backyard full of bottles.

Oh well, back to the drawing board ......
