away.


Same in Winchester. The performance about getting "registered" was bad
enough. Then once I had "registered" some tosser wrote to me and told me
that I would not be permitted to post my own notification of items to be
recycled, I would have to ask him to do so on my behalf and the items
would be examined for suitability.


At least that didn't happen with the London one.

They can **** right off. The Sally Ann will take stuff and do a fair
impression of being grateful.


I don't really expect people to be honestly grateful since it's a two way
service. But since they are happy to make endless phone calls or emails to
secure the object, just one after they've got it to say thanks wouldn't
hurt.
