One of today's news stories is that the environment will be a big hot topic for the election this year


With that in mind, will political parties still insist on producing forest loads of leaflets, newsletters and other canvassing material that will be dropped through our letterboxes and ultimately into recycling?


One to watch I feel.

I think that it'd be definitely be right to reduce giving leaflets to people who haven't asked for them, but I'm sure it wont stop entirely


as an aside but still on politics and the environment, I've always thought that creating barriers to trading with your closest neighbours has got to be bad for the environment


surely a Spanish orange has a lower footprint than one from say Florida?


but that doesn't seem to be talked about much

      Food poisoning at Dugard & Daughters - twice!

      By vladi · Posted

      Something doesn't quite smell right here and probably it's not  the chicken. Both the OP and TheWeekEnd specifically mention  chicken thigh fillets. TWE purchased £14 worth of chicken thigh fillets and they were thrown away "probably for the third time". £14 equates to around 12 fillets which is a lot. Could some have been frozen after purchase and then thawed? And thawed properly before cooking? TWE has a total of 4 posts of which 3 are on this thread.

      How to get rid of extra Garden/Waste large bins

      By Daniel_CR17 · Posted

      Thanks to all for the advice, very glad to have this community for these enquiries. Here is how it got resolved in case its useful for anyone in the future: I had ordered some garden waste bags, and when the Veolia person came around I just asked them, and they were more than happy to take it no questions asked. 🙂

      Sunlit uplands. Are we there yet?

      I keep seeing a thread 'missing cat', but you've been found.  Not sure if all would consider that a good thing.  Not a lot new happening ....  When you back in Blighty?

      Exterior Design Gardens - Oliver (Oli) Hawkins

      By Tams · Posted

      In March Oli and his team did an excellent job of the following work at a property I manage.  1. Completely removing existing broken front path. Covering and securing the void (coal shute) beneath using concrete lintels, waterproof membrane and concrete. Laying a compacted sub-base and new clay pavers. 2. Removing broken fence. Securely installing 6 fence posts and 5 fence panels across the end of the back garden. Base of posts wrapped in plastic  sheath and set in post mix. 3. Removing broken render from terrace steps and cleaning then re-rendering steps where needed and repairing other parts.  4. Jet washing rear patio. I would like to thoroughly recommend him to you for a job done very well at a fair price.
