This is the smallest of things, but… Southwark has delivered its guide to bins for 2024 and, for the first time, it does not include an actual calendar of which bin is being collected on which day. Instead we have to scan a QR code or (allegedly) write to the council to request a printed copy. The leaflet is the same length and paper quality, however one page is now taken up with the council’s plans for 2024.

We find the calendar on the back really helpful - just leave it on the fridge door, no need to go online and find a website and find the day and find the collect type. It’s just a bin.

I really hope it’s changed back for 2025. Such an unnecessary change.

If they don't issue a separate one I'm quite happy to use this year's one again for the schedule. The green/blue colour sequence within each month remains correct, and there's only a difference of one (for Jan & Feb) or two (rest of year) in the day-within-month numbers. Put a note at the top to remind me that the day numbers will be one or two less than those shown, just in case I forget, and we're there.

For the last three years or so Veiola have already been making my green/blue collections one day before what the schedule says, so I'm already used to that, and it's not caused me any problems so far.  And I've already got B conveniently written above all the blue days, as I find the colours not so easy to distinguish if not in bright light.

I've added a repeating 2 weekly entry into my phone calendar.

I suspect they are saving money by not having to print versions for each collection day of week.

But they’ve sent out the same leaflet, with the day of the week on the front, just no calendar on the back page - instead a pointless profile of 2024 plans! 🙃

    • The other thing I do at an ATM, is cover the card slot with my right hand while the card is in there. I then use my left hand for the rest. If a card does not come out, then you can look for a skimming device and remove it, ATMs are badly designed imo. They could be recessed to make side sccess impossible for a would be theif. The pin number aspect is a weakness also.
    • It's a criminal offense. CICs can't fundraise on the street - they're a less regulated form of organization and that lighter touch means you can't do certain things until you commit to greater regulation.   If you want to fundraise on the street then you need to become a charity. if they have mislead a shop by stating that they are a charity, they're breaking criminal law. if they're on the pavement, again they are not licensed to do that and are breaking the law.  
    • Excellent, I hope so!
    • It's certainly a risky strategy, as well as ticking everyone off, the gazunderer risks losing the property and also their costs incurred during the process e.g. legal & survey. It's hard to mitigate against but I always think that if you're desperate to sell, don't ever convey that  to your estate agent, as that info more than likely gets passed on to potential buyers. You should be doing that regardless of whether gazundering is happening or not, as it will affect the offers you receive... That's correct. Some agents have policies in place to 'discourage' gazundering and gazumping, but ultimately it comes down to the morals of the buyer...
