You will all have Tip stories, I'm sure. Ours is often run by stormtroopers. But if I send MrsW, nothing is too much trouble.

Anyway, I put the Tip trip off forever, because I pay enough council tax, so I use my own bin. Oh but the garden bin is a paid service, which this summer has been suspended due to staff shortages. Here's an idea. Send a Council Press Gang down to the dole office. I digress.

So I had 2x 5L cans of old oil, a battery, and some bagged rubbish released from my loft clearout.

He tells me I'm only allowed one 5L can of oil every six months, but it's OK for two today. I mean, the Roadster takes over 5L. SiLs W12 takes 12.5L.

This is crazy council rule making, and how can they police 'six months'? It should be obvious who is a paid mechanic, and I don't fit that profile. Even my fingernails are pristine for once. Perhaps they should inspect fingernails. Where does the council imagine those with high volumes of old oil will dispose of it? Crazy as Milliband, when asked whether high taxation of energy suppliers caused costs to increased, blamed internationally set prices and could not accept taxation is involved at all. And he got very shouty and nasal about being right. Another digress. grin2

Can we have a Scottish version of this - "Craik from the Cowp"?
