I don't know if other residents are having this problem. Having paid my ?30 for garden waste collection a couple of weeks ago, I still havent received a sticker for the bin and the refuse collectors won't empty it. They want a reference number which I unwisely never wrote down. After hanging on the council phone for half an hour I have now been cut off. I've given up.

A good thing to do if your one is full or you dont want to pay the annual fee, is just put it in someone elses brown bin in your street or beyond. You'll find that often people do not fill them up anywhere near full, so theres plenty of room for your garden waste.

Bad advice. It's really not good to use someone else's bin, you never know when they'll need it and they will have also paid for it. Someone keeps using ours and several times there's been no room for our own garden waste.


Crap that the council haven't sent the OP their sticker though.

The absurdity is that we have nothing alive in our garden. All the green waste we put into our bin is from stuff that either falls, blows or grows over our neighbours' fences. Lately, I've been clearing the pavements along our road given the monstrous and destructive weeds that have been allowed to sprout and I'm not inclined to volunteer to pay extra for the privilege of disposing of this.

The council have sprayed all the "weeds" in my road.


Why do you call them monstrous and destructive? In the country, they would be called wild flowers.

Same problem in Peckham rye, paid subscription in March but no sticker. I keep reporting missed collection online but they don't respond, phoned environmental services umpteen times still not resolved. Have now started a stage 1 complaints procedure online which they say they have until August to respond to...................

      Cat Flap

      By Pugwash · Posted

      Having had several cats over the past 40 years - mainly rescue, we have a tried and tested routine, Initially confined to one room with litter tray/food/water - we take it in turns to stay for a few minutes several times a day so they become familiar with our scent. They are gradually introduced to the rest of the house. We have a wire cat basket and we place cat in basket and take them outside, over a few days we place basket in different areas of the garden - grass area/gravel area, patio area etc - different flowers/plants. Some of the more nervous cats we walk around the garden on a lead. They get use to the scent of the garden. We have a cat flap in the back door so they have full access - If we need to keep cat in - just block off the cat flap so they cannot escape! We are now down to one elderly cat - who during the summer just laid on the garden chairs and came in for food, but as weather getting colder prefers to sit on a worktop in the kitchen looking out into the garden. So we are back to the cat litter as she is reluctant to go out in the rain/cold.

      Looking for good wifi suggestions please!

      With fibre you are paying for the speed, which is the number, yours is 300 so if you did a lot of gaming, for example, you would want the fastest possible.  If it's just office work or maybe streaming on Netflix you likely won't need as fast, but, if there are a lot of people in your house all doing their own thing on different devices, then faster speeds are better.  I don't rely on my Wi-Fi much other than when I am using my mobile.  I use Ethernet cables to connect up everything, I Have one cable running from my router, along the skirtings and through a hole I drilled in the wall to another room.  I have attached the plusnet speed guide which gives you an idea of how it works.

      Should facial recognition be mandatory for retail outlets?

      I'd reread what you posted and try to summarise.  It just comes across as a rant.

      Really like living in a country where big brother is  looking at you -, not that it is likely to happen in UK but crime should have stricter consequences.. not just put into jail which I gather is where more bad habits are learnt.
