So this morning it was time to dispose of a bed. This was to go to the
local recycling depot (Marchbanks) which is less then a km away.
Having only a small family car (N reg Astra) for moving stuff around,
the choice naturally fell on the bike and Worf for doign the necessary.
Filled the body of the trailer with the rest of the recycling (glass,
metals, milk bottles etc) and strapped the bed on top. Waited for a gap
in the traffic. I had decided to take a slightly off road start to
transport the body by the back streets as much as possible. Towing
loads up hills is granny gear work. traffic was heavy, but as I pushed
the bike up the hill some wag shouted 'get a car'. Funny thing was that
he hadn't moved by the time I was out of sight as he was stuck in
traffic ..
Get to the dump, the gaffer there was most impressed. He even went back
into his little hut for the camera, took a picture and was going to
send it in for 'recycler of the month'. Look for that in the guest
publications slot on HIGNFY...
Only downside was that I dropped my hat in the skip and it took a lot
of fishing to get it out. Hopefully it should be out of the wash soon.
and before the usual cry,
