Have you seen the new cardboard tents?

Recyclable, all except for the special plastic lugs, which will get re-used.
Will stop the dreadful waste of one-use tents.

Re: Things that annoy you!

when I take my dad to specsavers for his new hearing aids, park outside using his disabled badge (he's almost completely blind and struggles to walk) come back out less than half an hour later to find a parking ticket on my car. Apparently I was parked in a loading bay, I had thought it was for disabled parking, my fault I know, I should have checked but all the same, all because I tried to save my Daddies legs.

£70 fine or £35 if I pay within two weeks.

Why does anyone want to be a parking attendant, they cause misery to people, I kow people need jobs but all the same, I couldn't do that job knowing I was making folk miserable. I'd get sack coz I wouldn't ticket anyone, especially a car with a disabled badge displayed!

I've not seen them up here, But when I go back down to Perth I really have to watch out as the Buggers are all over the place. They are very quick off the mark as well, you've got to keep one step ahead of them with your wits about you.

Yeah, the attendant was nowhere to be seen when I came out and saw the ticket, bet he slapped it on right quick and bogged off before I saw him.

Blooming pigeon who has just decided to leave his message and splodge on some of my washing on the line, all over the garden table, down my white back door and on one of the garden chairs.

Tablecloth, 2 tea towels and a pillowcase had to be thrown away

They are strong enough to withstand three days of constant rain.
The cardboard is quite thick, and the pitched roof means it should just run off and not soak in much.
Plus, there is more than one layer.

Why thrown away, Mags, could you not have rewashed - even boiled - them?
