Pick up any newspaper nowadays and you're likely to find a report about someone who's bin wasn't emptied or they were threatened with a fine for putting the 'wrong' waste in a particular bin. The offering in today's Telegraph was about an old dear who received a snotty letter from the council telling her to stop tending to the verge outside her home.

They created the problem, (at great expense to you and me), let them deal with it.
