I’m imagining a scenario similar to the ‘ghost trains’ run on quiet lines, where the government will charter a dingy to chug across the channel once daily so they can claim they haven’t solved the problem yet and therefore can’t open up other asylum opportunities

Fiona Bruce refuge chat: Refuge made excuses for her. I'm one of many who commented under their tweet that it was unacceptable. I have a close relative who was battered for years and every time it was 20 mins of 'ill report it to the police' followed by 'i must have done something to deserve it followed by 'but I love him' shortly followed by said brute bringing her a soppy card and bunch of flowers 'see how much I love you the way you make me feel'. All sweetness and light til a few days later when it would be another kick in the stomach, push down the stairs, cigs stubbed on her arms. Her brothers rescued her a few times but she kept going back. She wasn't even dependent on him for a roof over her head other than he kept stealing her mortgage money to buy drugs. If you've not been there or close to it you cannot understand why women (and some men) keep going back for it. Grrr. I feel strongly on this topic. And I have a hyper sensitive control freak detector and am extremely allergic to overly romantic gestures such as big bunches of flowers and cards with red satin padded hearts on them.

Loonytoad Quack posted:[*]It causes significant cashflow issues for smaller business as you can return cans anywhere. So If I buy several slabs of beer from Tesco, I can take them back to the local tiny indie and they have to give me the cash back, then wait several months to be able to reclaim it. To be fair, in a vacuum this is good. I have experience of Michigan's bottle recycling scheme and you have to return any given thing to where you bought it from, which is a right pain in the arse if you ever shop in more than one place because half your bottles get rejected by the machine. That said if you're at all not-broke you probably just don't bother taking them all the way to the supermarket and waiting in line for the recycling machine to get your 10c a bottle and instead put it in your dumpster, at which point homeless people go round and hoover them up and recycle them. Which is a) good for the environment and b) a stealth redistributive tax, so I'm definitely in favour of the general idea.

The second bit, where the perpetrator's friends opinions were shared, was bullshit. The bit where she states "It was a one-off" was the worst. Heard people say she had to say that for legal reasons, as otherwise "calling him a wife-beater suggests it's a routine thing" but it still seems ridiculous to me. How many times do you have to hit your wife before you're allowed to be called a wife beater?

Back when irn bru bottles were still returnable, pretty much every chip shop near me had signs up saying you couldn't return more than a couple of bottles at once because if they didn't then they'd get people coming in with entire crates of them and effectively getting to buy a supper without needing to hand over any money. To which, fair play to people for bringing them but it's going to be ridiculous for retailers even aside from the horrendous mechanics involved for drinks manufacturers and the consequences of people taking their tins down to England on the train or whatever. Edit: Has anyone involved with the scheme explained why they're doing this, rather than investing in better on-street recycling? Or is the assumption that people who don't currently recycle things will do so due to getting 20p back on each container? Danger - Octopus! fucked around with this message at 20:08 on Mar 13, 2023 |

Something like this has been in action in Finland for a long time. Take your bottles/cans to a machine in a shop, it prints a receipt for you which you hand to the cashier to get either cash or deduct it from your purchases. You see people gathering bottles and cans at festivals and parks in summer, it does a part to keep green spaces tidy.

Yeah what the hell is wrong with people who want to take cans and bottles to somewhere else than the machine? Do they want to interact with a clerk who slowly counts the bottles and maybe comments on your drinking habit? All the while a cue gathers behind their back? Do such people exist? Lidl has a fun surprise with some of their German brand sodas which are not in the general recycling system and can only be returned to a Lidl. This is annoying when you go to any other store and find couple of Lidl bottles that you will either have to carry back home or abandon there.

I know this isn't related, but thought I would share Back when I was a kid there was a virtual homeless guy in our town, lived out in the woods, his own shack. He was in his 60s at least, talked in grunts, not sure what mental problems he had, but he was just totally detached from the world around him. Also back then you should hand empty glass and milk bottles for 10p or whatever. And he would bring in these to get himself food and drink, to the only one shop that would serve him. And it was mostly a pint of milk or loaf of bread. Which was our nearest shop so would see him a lot. When they phased out handing in the bottles in the 90s, the kind shopkeeper, a total gent, would still take his bottles and keep him fed.

When I was wee (late '80s) a semi-common activity for us weans was to rummage around in the bushes near bus stops, find as many empty Irn Bru/Red Kola/etc. bottles as we could, then take them round to RS McColls to exchange for money, which we then immediately spent on sweets. I'm mildly curious why they stopped all that in the first place, and now it's some kind of point of contention.
