Thats probably why I'm skeptical, I have to empty our kitchen bin daily in summer and thats when I have the A/C set to 80. I can't imagine having a box of food sitting two weeks in summer. :ohmy: But I suppose if you can keep it out in the yard and the cats don't get it open I don't know to be honest.

I used to put the food scraps in a plastic bag in the freezer, then just put it outside on collection day. Learned that from living in Florida where all sorts of nasty little creatures loved to dig in the trash. Like bugs and possums (ok, the last ones are cute).

That recycle list looks too much like USSR era.
I think I would be inclined to join other Brits and just throw my trash into the street. |

Off the subject but on my mind---
NBC News tonight......14 law enforcement officers have been shot and killed on duty so far this year. Today is January 24??? and its already happening that when the police show up and you have a gun you are dead. I think people are totally frustrated with the politicians cheating on the people and they aren't going to take it anymore. Make it clear I don't think there is any excuse for murder. There I said it. |
Re: OVER 50's & 60's MOVING BACK TO THE UK - Part II
On a more cheerful note.............
Jackie if you can look outside and look at the beautiful sunset! It was done specially for 'ye' to remember America by. note. there a beautiful red sunset out tonight. |

You are so right about that. The wheelie bins look awful. They were a topic of a local discussion today as they look so ghastly in front of lovely old houses. Useful, needed - but ugly. I came up with a way to disguise them locally, which may or may not be acceptable - but will cost some money to create the hiding place for them - and will let the town council know soon - I have a meeting with them about another matter.

Had a long row of barrels, with it labelled! used to keep a glass in there, for Private tasting - and she did not drink, so I had to. Beer, Lager, Stout, Canadian Rum, and the strongest of the lot, was Carrot Wine.- More like Licquer took six bottles into work, for my Retirement Party, and the apprentices, had designs, on one of the Younger Girl Storekeepers, and got her tiddly, by saying it was only wine_ Jesus - she ended up on a stretcher! And was taken by ambulance to the Medical Centre! - good job I had finished, or there would have been an enquiry! ( it was ministry of Defence, place!) Take care Gel - dontheturner
I had a friend in high school who's Mum and Dad liked to home brew, they were really good at wine. One weekend I stayed over and at 2am there was a huge bang, woke us all up, turned out she had run out of places to put all the wine and had stashed some under the bed I was in. then it blew the top off :lol: and scared us half to death. |
