I recently had an issue with my garden waste bin being missed. I phoned the council. It turned out that I hadn't paid my dues. Fair enough. I paid my fee and was told it would take 3 days to process the transaction. It must have worked because the bin was collected next time round.

"It takes 3 days to process". Why? Car insurance is instant. You pay the money, the computer registers the transaction and you are up and running. Simples.

My local council have again not returned my Brown Bin (food waste) this is the 2nd one they have ‘lost’ I have emailed them complaining but no reply.


I could queue at a small local council office listening to people in front of me complaining, when called forward to be told they don’t have any bins and to call back in a week’s time………..I will now put my food waste in the general bin.

 

Our council are in the process of closing there cash desk in the centre of town. They say something like only 5% of the cities population use it. Every time I go the queue is out the door. Not everyone shops online. Cash desks are still an integral part of today's society. I choose to bank in a branch where the staff are very personable. It brightens up the day to actually talk to someone.

We buy our coffee like this,



It's a very economical 500g tub. The lip goes all the way around making it very difficult to empty. It is virtually impossible to get the last few dregs out it. The lip would benefit from a spout of some kind.

Mid July had a few old friends of my husbands over for a nice Sunday afternoon dinner. All was wonderful. Lots of praises. two weeks later one of the couples, the husbands' father died, not unexpected. We go to the funeral. The wife of the husband says to me how wonderful that afternoon/evening went at our house for the dinner, chatting etc. And that she was in the middle of writing a note to send to me regarding, expressing how much she enjoyed the afternoon / evening at our house, but because of the death etc/funeral she put it aside. NOW--its September, I want that note from her. Don't tell me your going to write this nice note and now nothing. I think all of August is plenty of time to get it together to pick up your pen again and start. Not that I was expecting a note at all , but you said your writing one. So where is it??
