The unusual site banners are to bring attention to the fact that Labour activists in Bexley are manipulating Facebook Groups with fictional posters. They deny it, threaten police action for ‘harassing’ a fictitious character and then demonstrate their willingness to impersonate by creating a false Administrator account in my name. The banner on display is chosen randomly from a selection of three, with a fourth bearing the familiar Bexley Council is Bonkers logo.
Bexley
Council left houses at the end of my road with no paper recycling facilities for
more than a month and the bins weren’t emptied for about six weeks before that.
Arguably it wasn't their fault but they could have been a lot quicker solving the problem.
On Thursday this week a brand new bin was delivered, a bit awkward to use as it
has been placed back to front but I expect that will be fixed eventually.
Meanwhile we weren’t sure what to do with the accumulated paper. My solution was
to tear it into smallish chunks, envelopes torn into three or four bits etc. and throw it into the bowl
of hot water after doing the washing up. Leave it five minutes, ruffle it up a
bit and squeeze it. A week’s worth went down to the size of a small grapefruit. I was
thinking of tossing it in the green bin but the new paper recycling bin turned up in the nick of time.
I suspect if we all turned our envelopes and junk mail into papier-mâché Bexley Council could use smaller waste trucks.
Saves money on buying a shredder too. When dried out it might even save on
heating costs if you have a wood burning stove.
Normal service may be resumed next week.
