EU waste/pollution directives (effectively still in force) and council numptyism. Pay more, get less. Extrapolate and eventually the UK will stop working completely. Did I mention the roads? The kerbs around here have weeds up to a foot high sprouting from them.When did ordering a skip get so bleedin’ expensive?
