It would be interesting to find out what Haringey's contract is and whether it is open for re negotiation.
Perhaps if we were all paid personally for our recycling through a council tax reduction, people would connect the money that disappears from their pay packet with the green box in their garden.
If you had purchased £1000 of Northern Rock shares one year ago it would now be worth £4.95. With HBOS, earlier this week your £1000 would have been worth £16.50, £1000 invested in XL Leisure would now be worth less than £5, but if you bought £1000 worth of Tennents Lager one year ago, drank it all, then took the empty cans to an aluminium re-cycling plant, you would get £214. So based on the above statistics the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.
Scandalously recycled from an email I got this week.
