...I would have been very suspicious...

This story is the kind of mildly amusing misprint they used to have on the BBC's "That's Life"!

Will we be seeing amusingly-shaped vegetables on The Register next week? Or Doc Cox singing an amusing ditty about trying to compost your granny?

I live in Telford and the service isn't what it's cracked up to be. I left my OAPs out on the street last Tuesday, but I didn't realise until Wednesday that they only provide a fortnightly collection. They've been sitting there ever since and won't get collected until tomorrow. Shoddy.

Ah but to be fair Jake, some of them weren't quite dead yet. And you have to leave them in exactly the right spot, or they won't collect them. Apparently, outside my (yardless) front door doesn't count as the 'front of my property', according to Telford & Wrekin refuse-collection-monkey logic.
