@trev33 saidOur local council won't accept plastic bottles collected from the beach for recycling. It all goes up to Middlesbrough on a train where it is burned.

Who knows who cares?
Interestingly some say that is the best outcome as it is used to generate electricity, displacing fossil fuels and if it gets recycled it will probably end up back in the ocean as a discarded bottle once again. Not sure how I feel about that argument. It's certainly true that the plastic will last at least 1000 years and in the few decades that we've made it, it's reached Point Nemo in the centre of the Pacific. To get an idea of scale the closest humans to Point Nemo are on the space station.

There seems to be a shortage of ideas as to how to resolve the EU/UK border situation. Like where is it? The 11th commandment (quite rightly) states that you don't f*** with the Good Friday Agreement, and checks and so forth between mainland Britain and Northern Ireland are not to be tolerated. May our sausages ever enjoy an unfettered journey across the water, sausages know no borders or boundaries.

@divegeester saidnice to see your careing side.
Who gives a crap whether the Irish get their sausages anyway. Bunch of uptight dicks who could start a fight in a phone box with their own grandma.
@badradger saidI think you misunderstand me I don’t give a crap about a culture which will put a gun to its own head and make demands.

I find all this “seasonal marching” up and down each other’s streets, flag-strutting and willy-waving to be the worst kind of national pride. Infantile, hateful and outright troublemaking.
This notion that the Irish are the colonial spiritual roots of large demographic swathes of contemporary America is just a bunch of sentimental crotch-grabbing by Caucasian yanks who lack any other identity than a party political one.

We English get blamed for everything and slagged off at every opportunity, but you don’t see us bleating with manufactured outrage do you. What makes those of alleged Irish decent so special that their “roots” are somehow precious and beyond reproach.
You don’t know your Irish history either; look up what was going on out there before the English invaded; it was a clan bloodbath! The Irish have been at their own throats since the dawn of time and it’s no different today.
