The other frosty morning (it was still dark) I was sitting in my car waiting for the windscreen to defrost properly when a speedy lorry went by me and pulled up suddenly and parked partially on the footpath outside the CPT. This I thought was strange enough but out pops a man and a lady, both wearing luminous jackets. They go either side of the road on the footpath and behind where I was sitting. Promptly they both return holding two sacks each of rubbish. The man reachs the lorry first, opens up the back of it and throws the bags in. He then goes and helps the lady as she was struggling and in go the other two bags. I thought it strange that the vehicle was unmarked and not a council one. It wasn't rubbish collection day and besides they were obviously selective in what they took.This puzzled me as most if not all people have bins.I didn't see where the rubbish came from but I suspect the bags were not in bins. As they returned to the vehicle I was at this point hoping my increasing curiousity would be satisfied but found that though the back of the man's yellow jacket was blank, the orange one the lady was wearing had 'Royal Mail' on it. Is this a case for Morse or is there a simple explanation?

At the weekend, there was a whole loads of bags outside one of the houses next to the CPT - it looked like someone had cleared out their house. The house was about 4 doors down from the CPT - the corner house on Underhill Rd/Darrell Rd.

now Mr MW74 put a bag of clothes out for a lithuanian charity collection last friday, only for it to still be sitting there friday night. He ended up taking it to the Mind charity shop in LL Saturday. What's the crack with the so called lithuanian racketeering?

they collect the stuff/ take other chariies bags, sort it and flog it on in Lithunaia & the baltics in markets


scum


they may out pictures of children etc on the leaflets and remark that the company provides employment for poor people in far away countries.


the same people are alos involved in gun running and women trafficking - I kid you not - most hand guns in circulation in the UK at the minute are lithuanian sourced and smuggled. The prostitution side of the game changes daily, but there are still women from the baltics ( as well as form all eover the world ) being held as effective slaves to these people.


dont give them anything


take your stuff to MIND etc. the walk will do you good.

Legally, they dont say they are a charity anywhwere on the leaflets - they will quite a company number - which people often assume is a charity number.


They are not doing anything wrong - everything they say is correct - its just that a picture of babies or a dove and some rubbish about some people not bveing able to afford good clothes for the winter seems to be saying this is a charitable casue - its not

    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand). 
    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
    • I love the fact that virtually everyone held their hands out when furlough payments were made yet can't equate massive debt with massive cash payments to keep the economy ticking over.
