We still had all the things you mentioned, way back 50 or 60 years ago, but we were also happy and contented with our lot. In my case I still am.

I generally prefer to stay away from threads that meander from the actual topic. A stream of immigrants have over the past 50 years provided us Locals with a variety of jobs, pensions, a living that would not exist otherwise and, of course there is the convenience of having commodities on the door step. Next time you think about an eye test, buy a flight ticket, buy a health product, nip into a supermarket, rock up to, possibly, your job, think on. @A.J. ….

Plently have moaned and say only work if we have kerb side recycling, and lo and behold it is being seriously considered and then moans again it wont work bla bla. I am pretty gob smacked by the negativeity of this on this article. Kerbside recycling is very good. I live very close to a block of 8 flats. They have two large bins rather then one each and it works. Stop moaning and get on with it. Living in a developed community is waste heavy. Yes processing waste costs whether your throw it or recycle it, fact of a western lifestyle. You want to pay my council tax bill then you would know what is expensive, I pay in a month what most of you pay in one year. Exactly my thoughts.

You buy a new one for whatever the States has decided is the going rate Why can't the States sell bin sacks in the same way through shops or garages etc They would need to be distinctive ( green and white with States crest? or a bit of advertising to defer costs?)and perhaps in two sizes to cater for single person households Nothing will be collected unless it is in a prepaid States issue bag When the annual income is insufficient to cover contractor's costs etc just add a couple of pence per bag at the point of purchase Hartley

Also, the public have no idea of the cost implications. Does the majority realise it is actually going to cost them money or do they think the service will be free?! Totally agree with your last paragraph. We have recycled since the 80's and are quite happy to continue doing it ourselves. Page 6 of todays Press says it all.
