I glanced out of my window this morning as the dustmen were going down the street emptying the recycling bins and boxes. One of them was tipping the contents of a big black recycling box into the back of the truck when it slipped from his grasp and followed its contents into the crusher. He shrugged and moved on to the next one.
The moral of the story being… If you find yourself without one, don’t assume your neighbors have pinched it!
