I’m on the subject of fortnightly rubbish collections again. I am concerned that rats are going to be crawling out of every crook and crevice and nibbling on the pieces of rubbish that have been left decaying for two weeks. Rubbish collected every two weeks, means only 26 collections per year. Meanwhile noxious gases will be consuming the streets and the government will wonder why more people are developing asthma and launch a perfunctory study into the issue.

Did anyone watch the Channel 4 Dispatches programme last night about fortnightly rubbish collections? I was already opposed to the idea and that just completely confirmed my suspicions. Dispatches set out to investigate whether the nation’s grievances about fortnightly collections are justified. Their aim was to discover whether a reduction in service is essential to increase recycling rates, as the government claims, or if it is likely to cause health concerns.
On a recent sojourn to my local Goldsmith’s jewellers, I was pleased to discover that Goldsmith’s diamonds are all conflict free. I hinted to my partner that perhaps he could buy me an engagement ring from Goldsmiths, but he looked rather concerned, so I have given up on that one. Back to my point, Goldsmith’s acquire all their diamonds through legitimate sources that have no involvement in funding conflicts and all diamonds comply with the United Nations Resolution.

According to this research, the rise over the first four years of this century is 3.1% per year, which compared to the average of 1.1% per year in the 1990’s, is a big step in the wrong direction.
