A Battle Too Far

There's a war on. and the debt is piling up, but some things matter so much more - like kerb appeal. The council's green bins are ruining it for Judie Chisholm in Paignton, Devon. She is so seriously miffed by the bins that she is suing the council for five grand. Absolutely, Julie, hear, hear, those bins are an outrage.

They've totally lowered the tone of her property. They've "wrecked all kerb appeal in one fell swoop, " she claims. Terribly hard to bear. How can she sleep at night, knowing the horrible thing is out there and there isn't a cat's cuss she can do about it? Apart from claim the cash that is.

How we all feel for her. Our two brown and two grey bins are a source of real heartache. How we weep at the sight of them! So big, so ugly so, well, useful! Perhaps the council should just take away the bin if Judie hates it so much. Big bags on the front lawn are so much more attractive, especially after the local moggies have dined al fresco.
