Source: Mail on Sunday
Around 500,000 housholds in England have had their wheelie bins secretly microchipped so that they can be uniquely identified.  This opens up opportunies for charging residents for the amount of rubbish they produce, something that will most impact young families who can’t recycle nappies, baby wipes, etc.

For those who don’t know what Balamory is (ie. you don’t have young children or a telly), it’s a small town on a remote North British island […]

Moving to Wordpress

Hindsight is such a wonderful thing!  When I moved from my old blog at vbCity - The Insane Rambling of Wonko the Sane - I was still a blogging newbie and not the blog-addicted gobshite that I am now.  With the benefit of hindsight I wouldn’t have chosen Blogger as a blogging platform for Wonko’s […]
