Smiley 170 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Had my first day/night off the drink yesterday. Felt strange not to be sat in the sun with a glass of something. And then chilling in the lounge later without a glass of red. Aiming to do it again today. Reckon we’ve drank 7-10 days non-stop recently. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Smiley 170 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 (edited) Green for garden & food waste. They’ve cancelled these for the foreseeable future but did one last collection last week. Everyone was out trimming their bushes. Even my Mrs!! The new instruction is to place food waste with our general waste - but I’m too conditioned now to be able to do it. Black bin for glass, some plastic, foil, etc. Blue is cardboard and paper. Grey (our smallest bin of all) is general waste. Regarding the tips - pain in the arse. Reckon more so than ever they should be open. Every man and his dog is pottering around and clearing off the guff they’ve stored for many years!

Site Supporter ZicoKelly 1,743 Posted April 14, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted April 14, 2020 I didn't know there was so much regional variance on bin colours black: standard Green: garden and food waste Blue: cardboard Brown: bottles Currently, no green collections so that all goes in black, and blue and brown every four weeks Which is not enough for the amount we're drinking Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket 1,521 Posted April 14, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted April 14, 2020 Bury's green going in the brown has always seemed confusing. Been known to inadvertently tip grass onto my brother's cardboard before now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Site Supporter Winchester White 255 Posted April 14, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted April 14, 2020 Chorley have changed a fair bit over the years, most recent being your brown bin that was garden waste turned into your cardboard/paper bin and you have to pay £20 a year for a grey bin for garden waste.

Rudy 1,072 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 So the bottle bin got emptied, I went out to bring it in and my neighbour was already emptying two crates full of empties into his 😂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stevieb 626 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Our bin of shame got a reset today. Gonna aim (loosely) to not drink til Thursday nights virtual quiz night. Given its two nights that should be doable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Burndens Bogs 496 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Anyone else been sensing an increasing feeling of tension in the air in the last week or so? Some absolute dickhead driving, some moody faces/encounters in the supermarkets, also plenty of knobbers blatantly flouting the social distancing rules. Not sure how long this lockdown can last without some form of major disorder, i think patience is wearing a bit thin in certain quarters Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Traf 2,580 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Drivers going way too fast. Cyclists on the pavements despite the roads being quieter. An increasing number of people going round to others houses for a chat (keeping 2m away, of course) Yep, annoying as fuck Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No recycling bin collected at all Seems weird not recycling but at least I don’t have the shame of a bin being emptied of 3 weeks worth of wine and gin bottles Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rudy 1,072 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 On the subject of bins it really does me off. We got a smaller black bin, and less frequent collections. Im fine with the once a fortnight collection but I just want my big bastard bin back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure how long this lockdown can last without some form of major disorder, i think patience is wearing a bit thin in certain quarters To be honest, I've not noticed anything untoward. No more so than normal. Arguably, since all this kicked off, folk have been a little less "rushed". Had a couple of people walking in the road instead of the pavement for some strange reason- no one else around so no need to, but other than that nothing obvious.
