Green bin trumpets have ‘bin’ silenced

Now Richmond Council, the North Yorkshire flagship Conservative council where our William Hague is a Member of Parliament, are to charge £17 a year for one bin and £12 for any extra bin.

Fly tipping comes to mind, also if a Conservative council can’t balance the books when there is a Conservative government what chance has any non-Conservative council? What are next — the blue tin and bottle box, a charge for that? It’s enough to put you off beer and wine for life. It looks like the manure heap is going to make a big come back.

I wonder if we will see a programme on the television showing us how to make manure. If anyone can show us how to make manure it’s them television people — they have been doing it for years.

The lady in the Advertiser who wants her tall handsome bin back, well lass I will have a tall green bin I’ll paint for thee if Rotherham Council want £17 off me for grass cuttings and a bit of privet. It’l only cost thee for paint and tha’ll have to fetch it thee sen.
