        On our bathroom work top we have a dispenser that is 'Dove Beauty Cream Wash'. I've been using it for a few years.

        I looked in the mirror this morning. :hate-shocked:

            Just completed a council survey on their waste and recycling schemes, including green waste. Normal council questions and lower than average ability to host an online survey [grumble grumble] but the question that jumped out -
            "The council are considering implementing real time web-based information on where the collection trucks are. Would this be useful?"

            NO! It would be a huge waste of money and never work right. People are told to put bins out for the morning and then they're collected. Why on earth would anyone NEED to know where the truck is?

              Eddie Stobart's trucks are monitored by the inch.

              Yes but they travel thousands of miles all over the country. This is a dustcart of limited range and frankly you just don;t need to know.

                I wouldn't mind it Loofah, at least I would know which road they are parked up in the middle of and holding up traffic!
                Really naffs me off that they will not stop to load at the side of the road (on roads with one side only of houses) so you can pass them. It has to be the middle, so you have to watch them empty their bins, while you are bring made late for work grrrr!

                Well, when they first brought out the Wheelie Bins they wanted to monitor the amount of waste from each and every household by micro chips in the Wheelie Bins with the intention of introducing penalty charges for too much, in the Council's opinion, waste being put in them.
                That "died a death" due to public reaction that it was too intrusive. Data is only as good as the people analysing it and making good practical decisions with it.......which never has been the Councils.:nonofinger::heehee:

                  My latest moan is about my health. I've got Bursitis in my shoulder at the moment. Last weekend I had a bad flare up of Diverticulitis and yesterday morning at 3am I woke, sat up and nearly fell over as I was listing over to one side - mad panic ensued as I couldn't walk straight, so ended up at the ED and it turns out (thankfully) it wasn't a stroke as I/they thought initially, but I have Vertigo, so now on tablets which made me sleep most of yesterday.

                  Friday before last, when I was coming home from work at lunchtime because I was unwell, I had a blowout on the motorway and had to wait an hour and 40 minutes for the recovery man (and it was raining) :wallbanging:

                  I hate being ill! :mad:
