My dog thinks it is. He'll go to great trouble seeking out rubbish. Do you think rubbish is desirable? What do peop9le in Hull think about it?

Comment, please...

Rubbish is necessary to Hull. It's their main industry. Would you have them all put on the dole for want of it?

One man's rubbish is another man's pay dirt.

If you can stuff rubbish under your clothes to stay warm - it is desireable.

If you can fee rubbish to your pig, cat, dog, or hamster - it is desireable.

If you can weave it into mudcat thread - it is a little less desireable.

If you leave it on MY lawn - it is undesirable -
If you leave it on Sir John of Hull's lawn - it is desirable since it might make good pickins for his underpaid servants.

As a general rule all rubish deposted to the account of HULL is desirable - it is more than they have - and with the vocationtional programs they may approach sild purses from the sow's ears.

Sincerely,
Gargoyle

Rubbish prevents my home filling with things that are not rubbish.
Luckily for me some thing or other is always turning into rubbish and I can then dispose of it and make more room for pre-rubbish items.

Sydney has some great rubbish places - The Bower and Reverse Garbage are right next door to each other in Marrickville, very close to where we live. Marvellous places - we shop there all the time!

Seriously, John gets a lot of his material for train modelling from these places, especially Reverse Garbage.

I've found quite a few treasures picking over the council cleanups too. The office chair I am currently sitting on was found on one of those. The gas lift doesn't work, but it just happens to be my height, very comfortable, and has arms. If a chair isn't exactly right for me, I can get back pain, but with this one, I can mudcat for hours without any ill effect. I couldn't have picked a better one anywhere else!

Rubbish is very desirable!
