I remember as a kid we collected bottles and took them back and got 2d per bottle... We used to collect all the bottles that people chucked out the train windows at the side of the railway line....   ::)

We also used to sneak into the yard at the back of the café nick the bottles we had taken back and return them again for another 2d... redface:

They do a similar thing at festivals my granddaughter over the last couple of years at Leeds went round collecting the plastic glasses and made £80 last year... Did the same at V ....  :thumbsup:

Going off on a tangent (well this is what usually happens isn't it), our next door neighbour worked for
Corona in the days when they were delivered in wooden crates. He used to start saving broken crates for us round about the end of September beginning of October. Come Nov 5th we used to have a huge bonfire in the field behind the houses. Nothing tasted nicer than the jacket potatoes our mums roasted in that bonfire.

Memories, like the corners of your mind.

Not only a post, an earworm as well.

I never see that "no personality" angle, maybe he hasn't got the personality you want him to have.  Ever tried reading him on Twitter?

Just watched that excruciating post match interview with some BBC bozo from bozoland asking bozo questions and not listening to the answer and to me he showed real character to not walk out on the feckwit and instead keep giving answers

Oh look the web had noticed it too (http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/blogs/tramlines/bbc-interviewer-garry-richardson-mocked-twitter-awkward-interview-220057065.html)

Too many Jocks around here always giving the bit about "our North Sea oil"

They forget the small bit about the mahoosive amount of council housing (not that is a bad thing, but costs loads of munny) and The Darien Scheme which led to them being almost bankrupt and coming cap in hand to join 'The Union' before the country starved amongst many other problems the UK has funded them with.

Let them go alongside the Taffys and there might be a little left in the pot for the main country that has kept them for many years IMO.  Thumbs:

Sorry Steve I really have tried I just can't pretend to like him.... His attitude is so reminiscent of so many bigoted Scottish people I know, relatives included .. The publicity machine  has tried to improve his persona and a lot of people have believed it... noooo:

That whole "anyone but England" fiasco tells you far more about a sad fringe in England that hate any successful Scot

I had a huge row on another site with some stupid woman who posted that Murray came out for the final last year wearing an Anyone But England T shirt and several posters fell for it hook line and sinker.  When I asked why the BBC coverage showed nothing of the sort, the lying cow said I was stalking her

Worth googling for Tin Henman's account of what was actually said
