Just home from my three days a week ( still getting used to the idea that today is not a Friday - ! :laugh: ) at our local recycling centre which deals with all Norfolk's recycling. Am now becoming very blase about our population's apparent arrogant indifference as to what should and what shound not go into their recycling bins. :whistle:

What model!

Could do with some myself rather than overshoes!

I already have MW7 MTB boots and these are the RW5 road boots. Hardly used. Just been through the washer and now drying above the dehumidifier. My MW7's were over £150 at the time. Had them about 5 years now. I also use a drysuit wrist cuff over the neoprene as it makes a seal with your skin and the rain just runs down over the shoes cuff, rather than seeping into the shoe.

Someone visited me yesterday, and she tried to say "hello" to Kizzy. Kizzy was distinctly unimpressed, and then yawned. "Oh, she's tired", said my guest.

That is not what a cat yawning means is it?

Yawning tends to be a sign that a cat is relaxed and not fussed about its environment. Given that cats communicate largely by body language - and often quite subtly - yawning is a fairly "shouty" kind of signal.

I take my hat off to anyone who does that sort of thing; done several stints sorting out charity donations over the years, and yeah, the sort of stuff people deem fit to stick in among that lot... :wacko:

Other than paper and cardboard, anything that goes into my recycling wheelie bin gets thoroughly washed. Which reminds, it's the blue recycling bin for collection here this week, but haven't bothered putting it out. Likewise the black bag.

There I was, sat in the nice and quiet office this morning, finishing the first cuppa of the day and about to log into Cyclechat when suddenly work broke out.

Probably as bad as my worst job - recycled cooking oil depot!

On a low loader so a residential one. Hope they have good insurance.
The bridge being closed by too tall loads is not uncommon. There have been proposals to put a height barrier before the main bridge but the nimbys in Connel Ferry village object that it would spoil their view.:wacko:
Height barriers won't stop the stupid drivers. There's a rail bridge near me that's one of the most bashed in the UK (there's another up near @Reynard) with signs & barriers on both sides as below and even more warning signs on the approach off the A14 the other side. Usually gets a vehicle trapped under it at least once a month.

Edited to add that this is the Coddenham Road bridge in Needham Market from @PeteXXX 's list earlier

The one near me is on the Stuntney Road in Ely - which is #4 on @PeteXXX 's list.
