Oops. I'll make that last bit clear: I meant look out for old bags rather than big cars in your street! Don't want to start a crime wave.

Just had the nice man from Lewisham call round to remind me to do my recycling properly: no plastic trays, and no stuff in black bags. And he's going to get me a new green box because mine is somewhat battered.

And FH Sainsburys has got a big plastic tube to collect dead batteries. Good idea as some of those old style rechargeables were full of cadmium, very poisonous.
