Thanks to Céline for this rather fine effort from the “pay as you throw” HYS. I presume he’s replying to someone who suggests leaving packaging at the shop to avoid paying a tax on rubbish.
What will you leave at the shop then buying food so to avoid the tax?
The cooking instructions on a ready meal, made of cardboard and can be recycled free.
A plastic milk bottle ? And take the milk home in what?
An orange juice bottle? And take the juice home in what?
How about a cardboard cornflakes box? Hang on, guess what? Cardboard again, so it can be recycled free.
You could take the mice pies out of the box, and leave the plastic tray i supose, but the pies will get smashed

Your moving story about the pies reduced me to tears. What’s the point of recycling your mice as pies if the pies will only get smashed? It’s political correctness gone surreal.
Also Joe, I don’t want to show you up by actually thinking about the orange juice problem for 0.00032 seconds but wouldn’t it be possible to take along your own container? Maybe you could carry your juice home in it and then use it yet again when it’s empty! If I have any more completely original world-shattering ideas, I’ll make sure someone tattoos them 6 inches up your poop flue where you’ll be more likely to stumble across them.

Moreover, why isn’t Joe paying any council tax? How is he getting all his recycling done for free? All this extra cash and he’s spending it on ready-meals. I think something should be done about the lardy, sponging mouse-eater.
