And, you know, that wasn't that long ago. Anyway, I just think society is great.

I was listening to, because I sometimes listen to bin-based content. It's a big part of my background. I've always wondered if it's like a particularly British thing to have an obsession with the bins. I don't know. I actually don't know if that's the case.

Anyway, this has gone a bit too far. But I was listening to a podcast about the bins and about how British people uniquely are a bit obstinate about bins. In other parts of the world, people are happy to have seven bins and recycle. But there seems to be something about the British who are like, I'm not having extra bins. You can't stop me. I'm going to put everything in one bag.

That's my right as a Brit.

I've got a bin for batteries, bruv. You've got a bin for batteries? Yeah, well, it's just a bag that I leave on top of the bin. Anyway. Oh, really? Yeah, it's a service that our cancer offers.

Yeah, I know. But look, you know, look what the state could do for you. It could help you. Anyway, the reason we're talking about the bins is that Bristol is bidding to become the first council in England to move to a four week black bin collection cycle. So that means they're not talking about the recycling bin, the green bin that will be collected more.

But the black bin, which is the stuff that tends to go to landfill or be incinerated, is meant to be full of stuff that you can't recycle. But in reality, often is full of stuff you can recycle. So that will be picked up every four weeks. It's caused a massive fuss in Bristol and Labour are taking advantage. It's been Labour who are behind a petition to get this policy overturned.

It's still in consultation stage anyway. It's been national news. It's been an interesting thing to see progressives online who, you know, the Greens picked up a lot of progressive support.

Hugely, especially under the under 40s. It's been interesting to see those people online being like, oh, please, no, stop it. This is not the hill to die on, Greens, please. It's been really fascinating to see. So I think this is probably a big test for them. What are you? You four-week, two-week bin? What sort of bin are you?

Well, I mean, I think what people are finding frustrating is that the Greens have a point when they say that we... don't recycle enough and are putting too much stuff in that black bin bag. And if you're forced to kind of know you have limited space, it might push you to recycle a little bit more.

A number of the recycling rates in Bristol have been flatlining, even though Bristol is famously very good at recycling. So they're giving this ecological argument. But the reality is, is that they need to save money. Like every council in Britain that has come out of 14 years of conservative rule, there's no effing money. And so it will save them two million pounds.
