I'm just waiting for someone to claim that this is a result of
Global Warming.

It is the result of global warming. The plates expand as they get
hotter.
What you need to do is pump water into central California to cool things
down.

It so happens that we do a very nice line in mega pumps. Prices on
application. Buy now, pay 2050. Strict no returns policy.

If we can dig miles underground for oil, why cant we do it for heat!
Imagine if we could pipe that energy. That would reduce global warming
somewhat.


Actually, seriously, I hve always wondered about that. If we do beleive we
have to tackle global warming, we have a very funny way of going about it.

We always use supermrket plastic bags as bin liners. We need pedal bin
liners. Today, we got the news that we would get no black bin collection
from 14 Dec until 25 Jan, and believe me you need plastic bin liners to
cope
with that, even in winter. Somebody must have second thoughts, on the back
of the same document it has been changed to the usual two week gap - and
you
must get the bin out by 0700!

We have found that the Co-op use biodegradable plastic bags. Now that
seems
sensible. Saves us buying disposable bin liners.

Even bio bags are not very eco friendly in reality. The best way is to
bring your own bags, and for the shops to offer refillable stations.

Then we have no bags to use for pedal bin liners. If we had a dustbin
outside the kitchen door emptied once a week, we could manage without a
pedal bin.

Then there is the tin can nonsense. In an area with a water shortage, we
have to rinse them under a tap.

Have you noticed how much is wasted brushing teeth?

Yes. One of the reasons why I object to rinsing tin cans.

Half of these schemes contradict one another. The people who devise them
need recycling.
