Good article about deposit return scheme in the Graun. Westminster forbids us from doing similar. How difficult is a glass bottle return scheme? I used to get 3d back on a pop bottle!
Best bit is the photo though. It's real, not AI. I want to move to Romania!

To reduce waste and save public money (as per Refuk policy), couldn't we skip the investigations and trials and go straight to the "You are an habitual offender...you will go to prison for 20 years" bit.

But interestingly, this from 1903. Queen Alexandra provided a slap-up Xmas dinner in London for 1500 widows and orphans of the South African Wars. (Aberystwith Observer 1 Jan 1903)

One particularly sad one was Emily Ada Pickford (née Pearn). She was 37 years old, from Penarth. A member of one of Lena Ashwell's Concert Parties, she died in Feb 1919 (after the Armistice) when the car in which she was a passenger skidded into the frozen River Somme on the way back from a concert

One thing I hope we all learned from the commemorations in recent years, is that WW1 was about far more than young English lads dying in the mud of Flanders. They died in many countries - including Gaza - and came from around the world
And many women served and died too.

One of the shops in our village used to sell dynamite.
Mind you, it was in the 1850's and was for the lead miners*.

One of my favourite newspapers. From Jan 1879
![AN OLD MAN DEFENDED BY RATS.
[SUBJECT OF ILLUSTRATION.]
A correspondent writes:—"An extraordinary dis-
closure was made at the petty sessions at Llanbadarn
Fawr, Cardiganshire, on Thursday. An old man, Joseph
Mason, a pauper, seventy years of age, was charged
by the parish authorities with leaving his wife charge-
able to Aberystwith Union. It was shown in evidence
that the old man lived far up 'on the mountain top,
miles away above the lead mines of Goginan, and that
when an officer went to the residence of Mason for the
purpose of apprehending him, he found the habitation in
a most miserable condition. Inside this wretched dwel-
ling scarcely anything was found but a heap of turf and
"something" on the ground which did duty for a bed.
The officer, upon entering this miserable abode, was con-
fronted by a complete army of rats, who, instead of dis-
appearing as expected, turned round and presented a
formidable front to an attack on the officer, who at
once beat a retreat, it being considered the safest course
to pursue. It is believed the old man had tamed and
trained his strange companions during his sojourn on
the mountain, and encouraged them in his house. It
was shown that the charge against him was dismissed."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:jvmtomehnggdbzfams2lukts/bafkreifi2eub7knzabjekzda72ngekjpke5snu7j3iqgwlezjieoahakqm@jpeg)

After the gruelling campaign in Cerfilly, I do hope that nice Mr Putin will offer the gallant loser an all-expenses-paid month's holiday at one of his government dachas in Crimea to recuperate ready for next May.

But how much of the equipment still in storage actually still works, or is close to working? How many of the units have been cannibalised for spare parts? How many have just rotted? We've seen photos of hundreds of rusting tanks without their turrets. Do those still count as part of the reserve?
