WHAT a lot of moaning minnies we have in Bury.

"My bin isn't large enough" . . . well ask for an extra one. "The black box is too heavy" . . . so leave it near the gate. "The food will rot" . . . well put it in a bag. Why are people so negative about recycling?

Talk about a "nanny state"; these people want everything done for them. Why can't they just get off their bottoms and do something to help themselves and their community? They want a clean, healthy environment, but are they prepared to co-operate without making a fuss? You must be joking.
