Wednesdays 7 a.m. UK time. Wednesdays are my destiny. I have no wish to contrive allegiance to any other day, as it must have been ordained by the gods and in the stars that I am to be, forever, a Wednesday Collectee, and proud of it. Present address, previous address, and address before that, and before that.....right back to my earliest recollections ca. 1958, wherever I have lived, Wednesday is Dustbin Day. (Talk about a small world of coincidences, Skipy, beat that one, eh ??)

Such has been my devotion to Wednesdays that in my present house I now belong to the Select Elite in my town who are exempt from having to use official council wheelie bins and from the fortnightly alternating collections of recyclable and non-recyclable refuse. None of that for the Wednesday elite, oh no ! Our lane is too narrow for the large van, so we have a smaller one that visits weekly. We can put our bin bags out *every week*. Weekly collections......luxury.....fast disappearing in the UK.
