Latest Moan From You and Me 2024

I don't know what's wrong with this country any more. I read this and didn't know whether to scream or cry
Couple fined £1,200 for cleaning up rubbish outside their home

The local MP needs a word in his/her shell like. I'd vote for anyone who got stuck in and sorted out this kind of utter billhooks- properly.

 

That's crazy but about right with councils all over the UK.
During Covid I had to clean up discarded face masks in my front garden....and don't
get me started on the Dog s**t that litters our streets.

 

And I shall write to The Times.

 

And write to the BBC in green ink

 

Can you still buy green ink?
The maths teacher at school always used green ink, nobody else was allowed to.

 

If that happened to me, I would get some one to print me off address labels with the names and addresses of the councillors, then after filling the cardboard boxes with waste, stick the labels on and dump it, see how they like it when the shoe is on the other foot.

 

Brilliant, @gks.

 

Old ones or


new ones

 

You've got to have solv-x
I've got a multi biro clicky effort . There's a green ink option for complaints to BBC

 

I used to like Indian ink, we used that for technical drawing, I still have a small bottle but I think it dried up.
Nothing lasts these days.

 

Add a bit of solv-x but stand back just in case

 

Well, they were running around my garden a few weeks ago as a water sample had shown high levels of lead. They dug a few holes to find the pipe run ( no accurate plans ? ) and then replaced the lead pipe with plastic. I wouldn't give them any prizes for relaying any turf tho
No doubt we still have some lead piping within the house ( old building and stone floors ) but they came back today to take another water sample so we await the results.
As with much of our infrastructure, it hasn't kept up with expanding population needs. Can't see it changing any time soon.
