Grump, went to the pharmacy yet again, put a letter thru GPs door in person, requesting a repeat script, 3 weeks ago, and it still hasnt got to the chemist!!! For the second time, they said I will have to contact the surgery.
Extreme weather! Piddling down here, Jeans, socks the lot. It lasts for a few weeks if we’re lucky, I think they used to call it summer. 😀 Since reading that air con in cars took extra fuel, I wouldn’t even put it on. (Tightarsesmiley)

Our waste goes to an incinerator which generates power or heat or something. Anyway, unless you try to dispose if something totally inappropriate , it gets taken away. I suspect that most of our recyclables go into the incinerator too. One mucky bottle or nappy or whatever in a batch gets the whole batch rejected anyway
But didn’t you see where it went to B, supposed to be for recycling, they’re burning it on the streets. What’s a dirty bottle got to do with it. It was all U.K. plastic rubbish. Supposed to be collected for recycling.

The rubbish gets dumped in Asian rivers too. A dirty bottle means that a whole batch of recycling, however clean, gets rejected and sent to landfill or Turkish streets or in our local case, to the incinerator.
I think there's a lot of myths about recycling which don't help the drive to get people doing it properly. The modern sorting plants use high tech laser sorting methods and the plastic they reclaim is worth more than metal as a raw material apparently. The stuff getting sent abroad is the result of councils dealing with the lowest bidding waste firms and not investing in domestic sorting plants. I would place a fairly safe bet though that the people not bothering to sort their own rubbish properly are the same people refusing to stick to lockdown and littering the beaches.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
An incinerator was opened recently to serve our area. At least that way the waste is used for something useful rather than just being chucked in landfill. Hopefully the local seagull population will diminish over time as their main food source will no longer be available.
