We are so lucky here. Just been to Bournemouth to see family. The council want ?35 to move my sisters old sofa from the street (if she could afford to dump it). She is a single mum on benefits and wants to shift some stuff to the tip but has no car. The council wanted ?68 for moving the lot.


Well done Southwark!

I wonder what the council tax is in these other boroughs? Also if the council didn't take the stuff people would dump it like some people I have seen from their business premises because they have to pay for removal- and don't say I should have reported them because they saw me and know where I live and they are not particularly pleasant

You've got a fair bit of time on your hands then ? This sounds like the act of destruction from someone who wants to be moved to a different prison.

    • Trump changes his mind as often as the clock ticks. The man is an egotistical buffoon, similar in ways to Starmer, another egotistical, do as I say, not as I do, wedged to the hilt hypocrite who still thinks he's Head of the DPP not the first minister.   Certainly don't want beef from the US, it'll hurt our own beef production farmers, revered around the world as the very best with the quality of British and especially prime Angus Scotch Beef.  Just don't export to the US and only import from there what is essentially necessary. 
    • The deal with America is currently being announced Is it a good one for us or have we been sold a pigs ear as a silk purse ?  Personally  as it involves Beef bring imported to the UK, I don't believe its in the public interest. Interested to see others reaction 
    • Ground nesting bees are different. They don't swarm in the same way. https://beehunterma.com/how-to-safely-get-rid-of-ground-nesting-bees/#:~:text=Using a hose%2C gently soak,labeled for ground-nesting bees. Sorry I think that might be American bees. But so far as I can see the method for UK bees with water would be the same. It seems the most humane way, as it just encourages them to relocate. I had a nest of white tailed bumble bees in my garden last year. It was fascinating watching them go in and out of the ground.   But then I didn't need to put a shed over them!
    • If it's a bumble bee nest they won't be interested. But they are an important part of the local ecology. I don't know whether bumbe bee nest can be transferred readily. But they shouldn't be destroyed.
