I'm crap at wall papering, but usually end up doing a decent job, painting the walls is something that appeals but would involve getting a plasterer in to skim the walls.

I noticed on my ride yesterday that since council tips are now closed fly tipping is on the increase.
Have you considered textured masonry paint 😉

I know what you mean, but almost the entire colliery site (apart from the tip) has been redeveloped, mostly light industry and retail. I suspect, though couldn't back it up with figures, that more people are employed across the acreage now than ever were in the heyday. And I also suspect the majority come home safely each day and (hopefully) suffer no long term effects from their labour.
However, working as they do for so many different companies, what has been lost is any sense of community or togetherness. To me, this has been the biggest tragedy, and indeed may be a contributory factor towards some of the selfishness many have bemoaned in recent days ... but that is pure speculation on my part.
Ooo, you sucked me right into that one BL!

Around my neck of the woods, the green bin collection has stopped completely, the blue re-cycling bin collection has gone to every two weeks. Only the rubbish bins are weekly for the time being. The local re-cycling centre, the tip, is closed, but I seen evidence of fly tipping in certain areas.
While I can understand and sympathise with the bin collectors and council tips the result is so obvious. I fear that, sadly, fly tipping will become common place.

Morning all. I was just going to post about our garden waste and blue bins, but Paulus has beaten me to it! 
I might have to make a compost bin.
@pawl I was looking at those Przewalski shorts with some interest, but found the size chart a bit confusing, going for the XL size I think the last time I had a 28inch waist was when I was about 12. Did you find the sizing OK?

Our recycling and rubbish collections are as normal. I don't know about the green bin, as I generate very little garden waste so just disguise it with a wig and fake moustache and lob it in with the general rubbish.

I did read some of the reviews which seemed to go for on size up.which I tend to do with cycling clothing not manufactured in the U.K.
I am 5ft10 weight 11st 1lb 34ich waist I opted for the large and they are a perfect fit Much of the continental size charts do seem somewhat misleading
