A load of rubbish...

So today should be the last day of the "bin men strike" - It started on the 14th June and ends today, 20th June. About time, I say. If you're thinking of coming to Brighton this weekend, don't. After a few hot days it's very smelly about town. The seagulls have gone bananas (I saw one with a rib in its mouth yesterday) and no doubt the rats and foxes are on the sidelines waiting to pounce. 

(That banana skin's also an accident waiting to happen if you ask me).

Brighton and Hove City Council have asked people to use recycling and refuse facilities where possible. This has obviously caused some controversy as to what our Council Tax is for, etc., but if, like someone I heard of last night, you're thinking of not paying your Council Tax or reducing it due to this inconvenience, don't. This is a war we'll never win. Shame a I liked the idea of having a Green Party, but unfortunately it seems as though they're a little out of their depth.

Oh, and watch out when parking...
