I noticed that too ....

Not the usual cat fight type thread we normally use this section for, but that rarest of gems: an entertaining written, insightful, very detailed post. It's about the cynicism of recycling in our fair borough. (Warning: may be tl;dr for some.)

I took it as a joke - isn't it?

There are dozens of companies that do Bespoke Parties for small children.. 5th Birthdays..

..and many people use this service..


List of children?s show ideas


Children?s entertainers

Magic shows

Puppet show

Mini disco (including limbo dancing, conga, dancing competitions)

Rocket balloons

Balloon modelling

Bubble machines and snow machine

Clowns


Cannot see a problem or have I missed something..

I guess I can see why people with the money to do so would want to hire someone to arrange everything for them so they didn'[t have to make up 30 party bags, hire the bouncy castle, sort out invites and so on (can you tell my daughter's 5th is coming up?). If that's all it really is, then fair enough, it's like having a personal shopper (another thing I'll never have).


But just the use of the word bespoke makes it sound so ludicrous before you've even started.

Balloon modelling? Get real Foxy. We're talking My Little Pony..for real!

It's like stag do's. Gone are the days when you went to the Nag's Head with your mates, got leathered and ended up tied to the nearest lamp post naked. Now we have long weekends shooting wild boar in the Black Forest*

One-Upmanship is everywhere I tell ya...

    • True.  And I'll have a look online. Thank you for the explanation. I have just googled, and that is indeed the case with certain weeds. I had no idea that this could happen, so thank you.     The below is apparently all Southwark Council has to say. They don't say why they remove weeds, just that they do, and how. They've got a lot more to say about Japanese Knotweed, which does indeed cause problems, but which they don't remove! However I've never noticed any round here.  
    • It's probably less of a priority for them than it appears to be for the OP! Nobody is saying that local businesses are not part of the community. But in the context of this thread, there is a clear distinction between local businesses set up to make a profit for individuals and local non profit organisations set up to help groups and individuals in the community. What has living in social housing got to do with anything? And who is forcing anybody to "accept a secondary definition" or telling anybody to "shut up"?
    • Whilst I agree this is unlikely to be some plot, individual drivers may not have evidence of the time parking suspension notices were put up.
    • Were you affected or are you fighting the battle of others?  If penalties are wrongly given then the owners will surely have appropriate evidence to appeal.  And if this is a systematic error then it will not continue.  I doubt if there are masterminds plotting this.
