Curmudgeonly about our recycling, Ā we had nice dark boxes, blue for glass and paper, dark green for plastic and tins both with black lids., didnāt look too bad in the garden, we havenāt had them long. Now theyāve sent round horrible white plastic things, like builders bags but smaller, sticking out like a sore thumb in the garden. Ā Whatās the point in wasting those other boxes.Ā

Re the Black Friday - Ā the Friday before Christmas is known as Black Friday in the NHS/ambulance service/police force as there is a spike in party-related āincidentsā so nobody wants that shift!Ā
Our neighbours have got their Christmas lights all over the front of the house, switched on andĀ flashing on and off. IT'S NOT EVEN DECEMBER.Ā I have gone into total Grinch mode.Ā Give me strength.Ā
Why do takeaways with five star scores on the doors always taste bland or straight from the cash and carry vacuum packed? Is there a reciprocity between lack of hygiene and taste?
Did anyone else find the Sainsbury's Christmas advert effort crass and tasteless bearing in mind the poverty extant in modern Britain or is it just me?
