The Rubbish Diet

Just heard about this on Radio 4:

Not had time to read through it yet, but what I have read was interesting.

Interesting.
I like the trolley she treated herself too.

Does anyone have an old one of these lying around?
I would like to revamp one and make it look styleish, so if anyone has one that they are willing to give me.
Or if you're in a charity shop and find one (I'm happy to pay for it) please get it for me. As long as the wheels go round.

I have a trolley the same as that one, ZC, and I totally love it. I got it from FreeCycle, so perhaps you can put out a 'wanted' on there? Mine is in Burberry.

The only problem I find is that, when full, they are a bugger to get up steps and into/out of the car and into the house.

Nah I will stick to my £12 one, may not look so cool but it does the job just as well

Thanks for posting that Diana, it makes very interesting reading.

I was particularly taken when she wrote about taking the pet waste to the local pet waste bins, of which there were plenty nearby. Although some walkers seem to have mistaken tree branches for the dog waste disposal bins!  

Why do people do this????    It makes me so angry!  

I often pick up other peoples litter and dispose of it at the recycling centre when out and about in the village. I have even been known to carry pet waste bags to the nearest disposal point when they have been left by the side of the golf course walk.  But I draw the line at climbing trees!

I've never understood why people bother to pick up the poo if they're just going to toss the bag someplace else

That is the most fantastic set-up. Imagine that on an antique desk with leather inlays - great. I absolutely love it
