There is a lot of it about. At our old house we splashed out and bought a
big 6 ring Smeg stainless steel cooker. It wasn't cheap. When it arrived
it had a small dent in the little door at the bottom that you keep oven
trays in. We complained of course and a replacement cooker arrived a few
days later. The delivery men said the slightly damaged cooker would just
end up in a skip and go for scrap, and nobody was allowed to buy it!

It is even difficult to get cardboard boxes from some supermarkets now,
when moving house they are very useful, but our local Kwik Save refused to
let us have any - now against company policy - they all have to be
flattened and go in the waste.

Somebody on this newsgroup recently said they'd asked workmen if he could
have some old paving slabs they were digging up outside his house and was
refused - unless he'd got a waste licence they had to go into land fill!

The world is going mad.
