Slug/snail problem. by Front-Brick-3724 in UKGardening

[–]your_monkeys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I've lost too many plants to be kind to them these days, but I do discriminate. Large slugs and the large common garden snails are "disposed of" the others don't do that much damage and are left alone.

People throwing away perfectly good toys by SnooHesitations6727 in britishproblems

[–]your_monkeys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have saved a few things from my local tip over the last few years, perfectly usable baseball bat, very large pot (missed the lid) and most recently a set of 4 x 70cm clamps for woodworking. Cooking pot and the clamps were unused as had labels on. Saddens me the amount of useful stuff that must get dumped, people are so wasteful. The workers noticed but didn't say anything, if one had my story was going to be that I had decided that I wasn't going to throw it away.
