    our incinerator here is going 24/7. Some years ago it was featured in The Guardian as one of the most polluting things in Europe.

    They repainted the chimney in bright colours and so now it's okay.

    At work we had separate waste bins. One for paper and another for plastic etc. They were separately emptied into
    a large two compartment bin on wheels. But outside the office, this compartmentalised bin was emptied into one skip!

    we do collect it separarely and we do have the ability to sell and process, but if too many twonks put stuff in wrong buckets it ends up too difficult to process so its dumped. we make our own compost from the garden waste and sell it, although public used to get a couple of bags free.

    But the plastic and cardboard goes into separate holes in the ground, so at least they're trying.

    I like to think the cardboard (and brown paper) is recycled to make new cardboard (thanks to Amazon, there is a UK shortage), and the plastic is also recycled. Each are collected by separate teams and vehicles.

    The van was recovered Monday, and we've just heard back - there was no fuel in it (though I'd put 50 quids worth in Saturday morning), while the gauge was showing half full). So they took off the fuel tank to reset something. Also the fuel pump had "melted" and had to be replaced. Hopefully I'll understand it all better tomorrow when I collect it.

    Total cost including recovery is £220, which is a lot less than I was expecting. Hopefully that's it all sorted now, but it'll be a while before I can trust taking it beyond anywhere local.

    Hmm. My daughter belatedly informs me that the flat roof loft conversion at our place in Kent has had torn and flapping exterior felt over the winter! Lord knows what damage the wet may have done, good job I'm moving there shortly, sounds like I'm going to be busy. I have visions of scaffolding and loads of work to do in the summer. I'm getting a bit old for all that, but I'll have a bash .
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
