Must be a slow news week

September 17, 2009 BBC, Telford, WTF? 2 comments
! This post hasn't been updated in over a year. A lot can change in a year including my opinion and the amount of naughty words I use. There's a good chance that there's something in what's written below that someone will find objectionable. That's fine, if I tried to please everybody all of the time then I'd be a Lib Dem (remember them?) and I'm certainly not one of those. The point is, I'm not the kind of person to try and alter history in case I said something in the past that someone can use against me in the future but just remember that the person I was then isn't the person I am now nor the person I'll be in a year's time.

I thought the media silly season was over now the British government are off their 3 month holidays but apparently not.  Either that or my wheelie bin story is more interesting than I thought.

On Tuesday a BBC reporter turned up at my house unannounced wanting to talk to me about the wheelie bins.  He left a card so I called him back and he came round and interviewed me about it yesterday lunchtime.  At lunchtime today I got a call from the Shropshire Star asking some questions about it and for a copy of the fine I sent to the council back in June.  Now I’ve just had the guy from the BBC on the phone again saying the Press Association wants to talk to me and can he pass my phone number on?

Bizarre.

Edit:
I’m on the BBC News website!

    It’s truly bizarre – all this expense and fuss over a wheelie bin when billions are being wasted by the govbernment elsewhere. Cuts? Perhaps, in the 10%, they could cut down on this bin stupidity.

    Tell you what, threaten to take them to the Small Claims Court over non-payment of their “fine”. 🙂
