at two quid a bag...



Without thinking about the detailed economics, somebody has at least
thought about that and turned a problem into an opportunity.

Ours has done the typically stupid thing of being willing to collect
one bag per week, or you can buy special bags from them. However, you
have to go to the council offices, where there is no parking, to buy
them for a pound each. Either that, or take the whole lot to the
tip.
