I cannot believe that over the last few years, the increasing amount of lazy club members who persistently ignore the recycling bins, and place all their recycling along with their rubbish into the general waste bins.

I have witnessed this many times and I loath to say, the main culprits were in the seventies and eighties age group; they cannot blame being poor sighted as they would not be driving and towing. Maybe they are illiterate? or perhaps merely morons?.

My only conclusion is the fact they feel as they may not be on the planet much longer, and it will become someone else's problem in the future, it simply does not matter to them.

I do appreciate these people make up a relatively small percentage of this age group, and I wish not to tar them all with the same brush... but the ones that do it  know who they are... THINK BEFORE YOU DUMP!!!!... rant over.yell

I'd be more happy to call it positive experiences viewed thru appreciative glasses. I never expect to be treated as a 'special person' just to get help, I've not been let down yetsmile

JV, perhaps the 'extra appts' are down to the basic need for continuing treatment. My 'repeat extra appts' lasted for months until I was fit to be signed off. I'd say that was professionalism. The 'some are not' statement I can't comment on as I've never experienced itsmile

Which is what the physios have to contend with on a regular basis and as they say then "clogs" the system for others who need their help and would most probably appreciate the treatmentsundecided

'Contend with?' it's their job to treat their patients until they need treatment no longer JV. I think everyone who gains relief after Physio most certainly 'appreciate the treatments' I'm just glad I've never met any of the Physios you have if they say the things you've pointed out here.

Better not tell Toppo that I love Pringles:

The distinctive Pringles tube has been branded a "nightmare" by recycling bosses because of the material it is made of.

The Recycling Association says the combination of a metal base, plastic cap, metal tear-off lid, and foil-lined cardboard sleeve make it one of the most challenging items to recycle. So what else could these pesky tubes - subsequently adopted by some other snack manufacturers - be used for?

see: Recycling: Seven things you can do with a Pringles can

I think filled with concrete they would make a perfect base for flag poles to be used on site?
