Re: Where Is The Golden Bin?

Heard a little of this at lunch-time Less, won't actually be a golden bin, a different normal bin will be chosen periodically, and council workers will lurk in the shadows and the bushes and the lucky person (say No.3)who drops litter into it will be awarded, on the spot, a £10 gift voucher ! (didn't say for where). Tried to work out if it were April 1st or some sort of joker's day, but absolutely true. ! How that council spokeswoman interviewed kept her voice on one key amazed me.

'Course all the usual arguments came up like 'people should not be rewarded for what they should be doing in the first place' etc., but, well, could help with very little outlay.

Just the scenario that made me laugh .. putting your litter in a bin and wondering if anybody is going to pounce.
