This means that the likes of students offer to clean up after parties etc. where they collect up all the cans and profit! It's not the worst of ideas. Germany, Austria, Belgium and Switzerland that I know of all have it. It's called pfand in Germany and is a deposit of 5 to 75 cents per plastic or glass bottle or can depending on size and material IIRC. You used to get tramp's going around the airport bit before security collecting empties at one time. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BomberPat Posted September 30, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted September 30, 2019 There's probably a whole sub-category of this thread for, "comments in reply to local news stories", and 99% of them seem to be somehow blaming whatever the story is on immigrants, but this took me by surprise.

cobra_gordo Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 My father in law has just shared this. Fucks sake. I'm struggling to resist the temptation to ask him if he's going to make sure that the tea in his cuppa is sourced from that one place in Cornwall that grows tea. The word "SAMPLE" across the image makes this even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wordsfromlee Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 That fry up looks fucking awful. And don’t get me started on the toast that looks like someone’s buttered it with their bare hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WyattSheepMask Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 (edited) Shouldn’t he be boycotting tea anyway, as it’s origins date back 5,000 years to China? He should only be pounding the Bovril come November 1st Edited October 13, 2019 by WyattSheepMask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vamp Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 I always find it strange when I buy a paella in a supermarket and they have a big "made in Britain" label on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted October 15, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted October 15, 2019 Saw an sponsored ad for the new Charlie's Angels reboot that's apparently out in cinemas next month. Most of the comments were about how they won't be as good as the original. The "original" obviously being Cameron Diaz, Lucy Liu and Drew Barrymore. Am I really old or are people really that put of touch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That or you were right that people are out of touch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
