send the packaging back to them, let them get rid of it!! (what is the return postage address? freepost?)
after Christmas Mrs Robbie took the plastic packaging we had accumulated back to the shops we had bought the stuff from (mainly Sainsbury's & Tesco). they accepted it and now they have to sort it out. ps it was washed & cleaned out so they couldn't complain about it!
It ain't what you ride, it's who you ride with!!!

What a great idea ?? it's even more annoying given that out local council has recently switched to fortnightly collections so not only are we paying extra for all this shitty packaging it's now also filling our house/garden up ? And I know it's all packaged to be pretty but maybe instead of moaning at us lot the government would be better to force these companies to sell their products in basic plainer packaging (like cigarettes) then as consumers we would buy a product based on its merit rather than how shiney its box is ? Besides I (like many people) buy most of my stuff online from a website with professional photos etc so the fanciness of the packaging is already rendered moot.

It would of done less harm to just throw it in the sea :pokefun
I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.

A favourite of mine, albeit a slightly different subject, is to return all junk mail if they provide a freepost envelope. I scrawl ‘no thanks’ on it, and stuff it all (including the original envelope). Seems to prevent them sending me shite again! ?

Typically, the govt sees the solution to a national problem as justification for introducing another tax. Having decreed that deisel engine manufacture and presence on our roads must end, it is not beyond the wit of govt to decree that a similar fate should befall on plastic packaging, rather than use it as a tax raising excuse. I would rather see an expansion of local authority wardens with powers to administer minimum fines of £1,000 for litter droppers. How did we get to a stage where young folk cant walk 200 yards without having to stuff their faces with fast food/takeaways/coffee and chuck whats not edible on the floor. Round here, they come out the school and into the local shop just round the corner, buy a million platisc drinks bottles, swig it, then stuff the bottles into the front garden hedges

Talking of rubbish, some foccer decided this evening, that, rather that stick their gum in the bin that was about 10 feet away, they'd stick it in the middle of my bike's saddle!
Fortunately, because it's plastic, it didn't adhere, but what is it with the mentality of some people...??? :2guns

It provides them with self-satisfied validation. It translates as.....'I'll show them that I'm here and important'. It's the same mentality that performs the vandalism usually termed 'Graffiti'.

Parents that don't control their children from running riot in places such as supermarkets.
And the public who basically endorse it by cooing and laughing at it.

The sections of The Left that try to oppress free speech just because they don't agree with it :rolleyes

[/quote] Good point. Funny how that platform nearly always appears to be open to The Left, but is often closed to anyone that disagrees with them :rolleyes I read an article in the paper the other day which said they are going to stop the university's from closing down debate by 'no-platforming' speakers that hold views the majority of students don't agree with. There's talk that it could be illegal.

If ‘you’ say something dumb, stupid, dangerous, racist or offensive, it’s anybody and everybody’s right to express their disproval and/or protest ‘your’ comments. The fact is, it is usually those who detest real freedom of speech, as we increasingly have today, who complain that their freedom of speech is being infringed. And lets face it, it’s easier to scream – you are infringing my freedom of speech – than address the substance of debate or to defend unreasonable comments.

I see some of the university's 'debating society's' even tried to stop Germaine Greer from speaking.
You couldn't make it up! :lol |
