It appears that our local plastic recycling factory is on fire by the plumes of black smoke about a mile away. It stands alone in the Fen so it really can't be anything else. Just over a year ago the local tyre recycling plant caught fire some 10 miles away and burned for more than 8 weeks. I do wonder how the green army who condemn polution and want everything recycled justify this common occurence:) This post is made with humour and not aimed at anyone in particular!

Throw a lorry load of spuds on it and have a party. Plenty of butter mind. Last edited by: Zero on Wed 16 Feb 11 at 16:42 Reply to this message | Report message

...It appears that our local plastic recycling factory is on fire... I blame inconsiderate householders who put mixed rubbish in their bins. The fire was probably started by a rotting parsnip which self-combusted. Reply to this message | Report message       1

Don't, Iffy. I've just been clearing up an exploded bottle of fermented mango smoothie which the kids left to rot without my knowledge in a door bin in the Sharalahambralaxy. There's mingin' mango everywhere. :-( Last edited by: Alanović on Wed 16 Feb 11 at 16:52 Reply to this message | Report message

...There's mingin' mango everywhere. :-(... Careful how you use that air freshener. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1357475/Elizabeth-Davies-sprayed-Asian-pupils-air-freshener-banned-2-years.html Spraying Asian children with air freshener is a bit much, but I'm sure a teacher at my old school told a smelly child to have a bath.

...You think I'm clicking that?? Dream on!... Ha ha. The story's done from the angle of a white lad in the class who reckons he was caught in the crossfire. Gives a new meaning to the word overspray. Reply to this message | Report message

We`ve got a local scrappie that has had a few ships to dispose of, one of the most recognised ones was HMS Ajax (frigate) the number of times this caught fire due to "cutting spark etc" was "interesting"! - tis a good way to clear crap and leave clean metal (allegedly) Reply to this message | Report message

Why didnt they just knock a hole in the side of the 16 foot drain? That would put it out. Reply to this message | Report message

Yeah, the fens is like a bath. Fenlander lives on the rim of the plughole. The plug is currently in so could be a problem, Last edited by: Zero on Thu 17 Feb 11 at 11:45 Reply to this message | Report message

"The factory is owned by Carl Waters, son-in-law of former Fenland councillor Pop Jolley," Why does that raise all sorts of suspicions with me - what's the bet they have the council contract?? Reply to this message | Report message

I don't think so BobbyG, we collect waste plastic from all over the country (and near you!) to take in there for recycling. Pat Reply to this message | Report message

I remember a few years back that supermarkets were not able to recycle their plastic duringone of the "foot and mouth" outbreaks I think it was. No one would take the plastic abroad for fear of there being food residue in it! Reply to this message | Report message
