Lord Noel On Modern Recycling

Whatto! Recyclers............

In order to make recycling more popular you have to make it more appealing.

Do you have a Fridge that you want to get rid of?

Raymond, from Woodley, Reading, Berkshire did.

He'd purchased a new fridge.......

.....and when he contacted the local council about taking away the old one, they wanted £20 to remove it.......

....... in an 'environmentally friendly fashion'.

Now £20 isn't a huge amount to most people....

....especially when you know the item is being disposed of properly......

....but Raymond wanted to save the cash............

......so he just put the old one in his front garden with a sign that read.......

“Free to a good home. If you want it, please take it.”

The fridge stood untouched for 4 days......

....and Raymond was beginning to think he'd have to pay the council after all.......

......but then he changed his tactics...........

........ he made a new sign saying........

....... 'Fridge for sale - £50.'

That very afternoon the fridge disappeared......

......having been stolen.

Tallyho!

Best Wishes - Lord Noel & Lady Jacqueline
