Where has peace and quiet gone????

In Finland, they have decided to have bins that say ‘thank you’ once you have deposited your litter in them. If successful, they will roll the idea out across the country.  Polite bins.

I hope the don’t bring them here – I’m not sure I can stand too many things talking to me any more. Where has peace and quiet gone????

When I get into the tube, the lady yells at me  – and in the bus she sings to me ( I don’t mind that so much as I used to get lost on buses all the time not knowing where I was).  When I get home, the bingo roomies ‘chat’ to me, and the bingo noises laugh, ‘woohoo’ and clap for me – which I don’t mind so much cos if I want quiet then I just turn that feature off. But I can’t turn the other sounds off, and I can’t imagine the fright I might get if the bins started talking.

So, with any luck, the Polite bing Project will be limited to Finland, and we’ll get the usual weekly bin noise consisting of the bin men yelling at each other as they collect the trash, and I’ll be grateful for small mercies.

It seems the credit crunch is Aldi’s friend

Well, the credit crunch has hit our pockets, but increased Aldi’s profits it seems. Word is they are making more than ever from their cut price goods, and we the consumer are lookng to them for the bargains.
Now I’ve never been to an Aldi, don’t even know if there is one near me, I’ll have to look when I web surf and play Bingo at the same time, (some people can multi-task!).

They may be worth looking into, despite the fact that I LOVE 50p specials at Tesco’s. Mabe Aldi has 49p specials?
