What a waste of space

If the Government really was serious about saving money and recycling then it could start by taking all the noddies at the Waste and Resources Action Programme, a stupid name just to give the acronym WRAP, and find a landfill site to shovel them all in to along with whichever minster and civil servants thought the £80 million a year agency was a good idea,

These are the same people who said it would be a good idea to empty dustbins once a fortnight to cut down the amount we throw away and suggested we should all have a separate swill bucket for food waste.

Their latest loony scheme, a couple of days before Christmas, is that we should wrap Christmas presents up in old bits of cloth such as bed sheets, tablecloths and so on like the Japanese because most wrapping paper can't be recycled.

I might be wrong but I suspect the Japanese do tend to use traditional cloth designed for the purpose rather than recycle an old pair of aunty's bloomers.

We are paying this bunch £80 million a year and this is the best they can come up with.
