For starters they would need a license to carry the waste. https://www.gov.uk/waste-carrier-or-broker-registration

Looks well dodgy. Sorry to hear that. I suggest calling the environmental health dept. and asking them.

I think I'll stick to Father Christmas and The Tooth Fairy. Each to their own.

I don't understand. Why would the Contemporary Glass Society want to give money to a religious group?

At first I had grave doubts about the way in which this campaign was being advanced. Then my interest in it expired. By this weekend I just found it dead boring. I was accosted this weekend walking past Lewis' stand (not by Lewis) outside the Co-op and politely but firmly said that I wasn't interested, drawing a look that came across as a mixture of disbelief and horror. That being said, I don't mind Lewis knowing my name is Paul. Paul Barer, East Dulwich

I agree with the narcissist comment above. I thought she was given quite an easy time in that documentary, but even so Camilla came across as a narcissist in denial. She kept on about the kids, but it seems it was in reality so much about her. It seemed like KC was a personality cult with whatever she said being the law. The trustees (or at least some of them) are a disgrace for failing that charity, its donors and those of its beneficiaries who were truly in need. They appear to me to have disregarded their legal responsibilities to run a charity properly and with proper respect and regard for the fact that people were donating money to it for a proper purpose. Camilla seemed to have nothing but contempt for 'bean counters' (i.e. proper accounts and governance) and no remorse whatsoever - that was the most difficult part to stomach.

It's a nice idea for the larger business. Not sure smaller businesses would be such a market for it though. Also, it doesn't need a separate business for the employer and employee to share the costs 50/50. Not sure that is a USP or particularly viable business model (without more - because with every existing counsellor there could be a 50/50 sharing of cost).

Hmmm. This should be in the for sale section not here. It is obviously a sales pitch, albeit with a free 'taster' to get the punters through the door. I can imagine the sort of hard sell you get. But, even if it is a soft sell, this is definitely a sales pitch.

An Iceland's what?

No thanks, Lewis.

Those pictures show an obvious massive improvement over the crappy/ugly old building that was there before. It was a real dump. I'll probably only shop there once or twice a week, but I'm still delighted there's also a half decent convenience store opening there too.

Would have DF. It might belong to one of the second hand private car sellers who operate around these parts.

Must of rearranged layout innit.

I agree. I have seen a lot of people being quite rude and/or impatient there (as I'm sure is the case in GP surgeries and A&E departments everywhere - that's certainly what staff seem to be saying anyway). Frankly, the staff are not there to take abuse or rudeness from people when they are just doing their job. Being polite costs nothing and is the only way you should behave anyway. OP - Have you spoken to the manager there? Did you (politely) put your point of view to the person who you thought was being rude? The feedback may help them with their 'service'.

I've pretty much always found them to be fine - bordering on the nice (sometimes very nice). I suspect they have to deal with some right royal pain in the ars*s though and if you come across as difficult then maybe their attitude might be different. Not saying you have done, but if you were, or they were at the time being inundated with difficult patients (so many these days have an exaggerated feeling of 'entitlement'), that might explain a less than friendly service.

Interesting. I stand corrected! Green bin then.

Bin. Blue bin.

Nigello - You must drive a seriously ugly-arsed vehicle!

In answer to your question (1) yes I'm a cyclist (2) no I certainly wouldn't want to look out of my window onto that.

They are pretty ugly things! Potentially useful, but definitely ugly.

Dan, I also wish you all the best. I'm very sorry to see the Sea Cow go. I am very picky about fish and chips and must have tried every fish and chip shop in the local area including those recommended on this forum (several of them a number of times) and by some distance yours were consistently the best (and the service was good) and I was therefore a regular customer of yours. I will look out for the van.

I agree it is a dangerous junction - mostly because of the speed you can get up to coming down the hill, but it is signposted clearly and there are also clear road markings. I suspect the problem might be that people are concentrating more on bike handling at the speed they are going and less on the road signs (and they have less time to see them and to stop in time). Those excuses can only really work for the first time you come down the hill though! After that you really ought to be careful and obey the rights of way. I'm always very conscious that I will have to stop after coming down the hill, although it is a shame to lose the 'free speed' from the hill!

Yes - bad grammar (especially when it appears in very basic sentence construction) - "could of" and "would of" being two of the most annoying. Also, any sentence with a random and meaningless "innit" tacked onto the end.

Have. Should have been.
