this morning at 7am and I happened upon the next door neighbour who was doing the same. I glanced at his black bin that contains the glass and it was chocker-block full of whiskey/vodka/wine bottles.
"Nice party?" I enquired, trying to engage in some smalltalk.
"Thats 6 weeks worth - I only put it out when it's full"
I smiled.
"I'm not a piss-head"
"How's the wife?" changing the subject.
"Neither is she"
Sheesh - some people really are grouchy in the morning (especially if they've had a few the night before). |  |

sadly it's not just morning. Most people these days look at their neighbours with caution and a sense of 'what's he want!! ..neighbours and all that went out with blue passports. |  |

Have you watched anyone shop loose fruit and veg recently in a supermarket?
Recently in Sainsbury's. This woman came up and literally squeezed a dozen Avocado fruit. Then picked up and bought the thirteenth one as it had some give. It would have been cruel of me to say she picked up the one that twelve other shoppers had already squeezed.
I'll not buy any loose fruit and veg - you don't know where's its been, who's mauled it, or what lies beneath the skin. |
That is definitely an important consideration, another one being that when you have picked half a dozen loose apples or avocados, the bags they provide to put them in are plastic anyway, so why bother? |  |

Don't put them in the bag, just put 'em in the trolley and weight them loose on the scales... Or am I about to be wooshed?! | |

Ahem - you and your neighbour were not 'doing the recycle'...you were putting your rubbish out to be collected. Those east Europeans slaving on a minimum wage (if they are lucky) at the local recycling centre are 'doing the recycle' |
I and my (wonderful) neighbour are the first in the Recycling chain.
We are doing Selection and Pre-Sort.
We are choosing what to recycle and then assigning to the correct bins.
Without us, the Recycling company is nothing. | |

Isn't this the same councillor who said in 1960 that we don't need to build roads as we'd all have flying cars by 1970? | |

Is that the scales in the self-serve checkout area?
Those green carrots with the hard seed inside are quite cheap aren't they? [Post edited 4 Nov 2019 15:19]

I like to put the wee stickers directly on the veg or even better a mixture of veg in a paper mushroom bag with up to 6 price stickers placed all over it...makes check out relatively entertaining. |  |

Same's true for prime joints of beef. Or so I'm told. | |

There's nothing much worse than being 'caught' by someone you know at a bottle bank.
The paranoia is already there when you pull up, get out the car with that shifty quick scan to see who's about, then just as you're in full swing some fecker shows up like the shopkeeper from Mr Ben. |
I once complained to the Council about the amount of litter in the back alley caused by a nearby school. Two days later the Council left some bin liners, gloves and a litter picker outside my house. I duly obliged in cleaning the alleyway every month or so as i hate litter and like to think myself as a responsible neighbour. A couple of years later the council left another set of equipment outside my house. Crafty blighters.
I'm sure most people look at me like i'm some sort of busy body.
A few years back the Council asked for helpers to plant bulbs in the local area. I duly obliged as they had no one to do the heavy digging. I drew the line though when they insisted I wear a high viz jacket. Its one thing helping but i'm sure I would have looked like I was on some kind of probation service job gang. Would have allowed some locals to get the wrong idea about me.
