£50 notes. You try and pay for something and you turn into a criminal. Refused, not accepted unless manager is nearby or a 2 person verification.
Don't see them check £20s ever
The irony being if you were to forge a note, you would avoid the £50 for exactly this reason. Read somewhere ages ago more money tied up in fake £1 coins than anything else. |

A new £7 charge for a replacement bin or recycling box. Something that only gets damaged beyond usefulness by the people who collect the contents.
Compulsory recycling but with no clear instruction of where to put the stuff.
All coming in on 01/08/2019. No one to ask at SBC, just a letter and leaflet that says nothing new, other than the £7 charge.
Fly tipping might be the answer

My wheelie bin disappeared once, spent a while looking for it. Turns out it got "eaten" by the bin lorry. Got a replacement no problem. The new charge thing could be an issue, what if a neighbour decides to use yours instead of shelling out for a replacement?  |

Paint effing great numbers on them, preferably yours not your neighbours. Popular pastime in social housing areas, especially on the walls. Must help them find their way home from the pub or crack den.

Think you'll find that they all have serial numbers on them, well they do with WWDC. |

Not that any of the refuse collectors use them or even care about them. WWDC drivers are the worst bin lorry drivers  |

Ah those articles deliberately published to rile. Like the quarterly 'I'm only 21 and bought my 5 bedroom house through hard work and not going out*' * Plus the £150,000 my parents gave me and the £15,000 inheritance from nanna. |

Or the stories such as "I'm in my mid-thirties, spent 4 years doing a degree, travelled around the world for a year, came back and did a masters degree - now having worked for 6 months, I cannot afford the house/car/whatever I deserve and have so much debt. It is the systems fault."  |
