A large number of our settlements are on the coast or within a gull's flight of it, so they're pretty much everywhere. Some are shy, while others are more confident & will come right up to you. One near me would go into a newsagent's & take their fave crisps on the regular, & several townsfolk paid for the crisps the gull took. As with every creature though, you get some who are intentionally nasty, like the attacking one who started the gull/human war in the scenario in the vid
That made me laugh...another funny one was when I was on holiday in Norfolk and saw a hairdressing salon called Curl up and Dye, it was next door to an undertakers 😂

Here in Germany we have 4 different bins: blue for paper, yellow for plastic, green for bio waste and grey for the rest. They are emptied on different days, so in every street there is usually a person who is up to date with the pattern of emptying dates. Thats the binfluencer. :)
same here in glasgow. rely on neighbour for times to. brown for food and garden . blue for glass and paper grey for plastics and cans , green for the rest.
For my area in England it's just two: grey general, green for recycles. But honestly, you know it all gets put in the same landfill ^^ The colored bins are to make you feel better. It all goes to the same plant which dumps it all into the same hole✌
@@rosey-19 no here . we now have a grey one for plastics and cans .think the blue one is being phased out. brown for garden and food and green for the rest. ous not been emptied for 4 weeks now. the streets a mess
@@shmupperfromhell Well, at least here it gets incinerated. But some stuff actually gets recycled - if they can make money from it. The waste paper for example, or the glass, but also the bio stuff. That gets composted and thats sold again. But the plastic recycling is mainly a myth. Its much to difficult and expensive, so its mostly incinerated or put in landfills. And thats the "good" option - if things go bad, its shipped to Bangladesh or so, and they throw it into the sea.

after our lockdown we learnt allowed to drink in pubs you had to be outside, it was pouring but didn't put me off I went with brolly ordered a beer, went in to buy another but was told that 6 people had bought me a beer, that's us British we do mad things
Yep we have a British sense of humour, we can find a reason to laugh at anything. I think it's because of the weather, because we have so much rain we have to cheer our selves up somehow.
The two guys sitting in the rain reminds me when I once saw two women having coffee outside in snow. They were sitting at a table which had an inch of snow on it, chatting and having coffee. I suspect they were only able to smoke outdoors.
Hahah that sinkhole with the Dino's was near me.. in Flackwell Heath, Buckinghamshire. A sink hole appeared in the street outside some shops and was there for years before it was repaired.
In my town brown bins is for tin cans plastic and glass waste blue is for paper and cardboard black is for rubbish green is food and garden waste green are emptied every week the others are rotated they go brown then the next week is black then the blue then back to brown
In the UK we recycle 70 - 80 % of all our rubbish/garbage where it's more like 30% in the US. We often have multiple rubbish wheelie bins which are different colours to denote what you should put in that particular bin. We also have boxes too. For example in my area there are three bins. A red bin for cardboard and plastic recycling, a brown bin for garden waste such as lawn cuttings and then a green bin for general waste. But then there are stacker boxes for things like glass jars and tin/soda cans. Different rubbish/garbage trucks will come around each week. Eg, one week they come empty my green bin and boxes, the next week they come and empty my red and brown bins. The idea behind this system is that all the rubbish/garbage is pre sorted by the public at your home before pickup which makes it easier for it be recycled.
We have four wheelie bins here in Lincolnshire, (Black) for general waste, (Grey) for plastic bottles and plastic packaging and glass, (Green) for garden waste, (Black with bright purple lid) for cardboard and paper.
We like to think we do, but a huge amount of recycling actually goes to landfill once it reaches the so called recycling centre. It's a scandal. It doesn't help that the Brits are terrible at following recycling rules. .
Where I live we have one communal bin for recycling and one for everyone's rubbish, the rubbish lorry comes and throws it all in the same lorry and drives off.
But some idiots include them (and hash browns, quite often) in a Full English Breakfast. Should be pulled up by Consumer Protection and call those versions Anlgo-American Breakfasts.
I’m in the uk and I once took a lightbulb with me when buying a replacement table lamp for one I broke. So as to make sure I got a lamp that fits the same bulb. So the bread and toaster scenario seems pretty practical and sensible to me 😂👏
I too used to take a light bulb wen needed buy replacement, I was called strange by my other half when I told him to take one, he didn't and lo and behold bought the wrong one. so I'm glad Im not crazy, but then again as brits were all a little crazy lol
yEs, definately better to pay an extra £6.98 to make sure you buy a lamp with the correct fitting, than waste those 32 lightbulbs you saved money on when you bulk baught 50 of them, when they were 73 pence a pop!
@@eddieleslie694 I don’t know what you are talking about. But I broke my lamp the bulb survived and didn’t see any reason why it could not be reused and that same bulb it’s still going strong even now in the replacement lamp I brought.
British seagulls are huge in comparison to what most people in the states are used to. They will grab small dogs and eat them. And being an island, there's a lot of them. And a barm is basically just like a burger bun. Every area of the UK has a different term for it and barm is from the north west. Cobs, breadcakes, butties, etc.
In Britain we tend to have 4 bins: 1 for general waste, 1 for plastic, metal and glass, 1 for paper and cardboard and 1 for garden waste. Bin people collect different rubbish from different bins on different days and it depends on where you live
We’ve got 4 in Airdrie but I think they are going to start charging for certain bins . Well they can FO , that’s why I pay council tax , which is also going up yet they’re reducing services it’s a pure cash grab . They are nothing but greedy Bs
You're lucky, I only have 5. Brown(Paper&cardboard), blue(plastic),green(garden and compostable food waste),black(non-recyclable), and a grey plastic tub(not really a bin, but used for anything considered hazardous like batteries, glass, etc). What are your other 2?
The BINDICATOR is useful because in the UK there is a set bin schedule you have a green bin that pay for and you put grad clipping or branches basically any plant waste, then we have the food bin for food waste a small bin for food waste only, the usual black bin for all general waste and then of course you have recycling and it can be: food bin green bin and recycling one week and black bin and food the next so if you miss one you’ll have to wait 2 weeks for it to be collected next orrrr you call the council and they have a missed bins line but that’s usually only meant for closed roads or the dustman has not spotted your bin out but most people call when they have put it out way too late and they have already been… but yes bindicator is needed for this
The council’s are about to charge us for getting our grass bin emptied. They sent me a survey asking which services I thought were essential to non essential things like ;home care , addiction services it covered a wide range of topics but it was clear they have no money & are going to make us pay for their incompetence,
03:28 it depends in the area but generally, most UK councils have a recycling/refuse programme. In my own area (Lancashire in the North West England area), we have 3 wheels bins, ‘blue’, ‘red’, ‘green’, ‘grey’; the blue bin is for paper and cardboard and is emptied every 2 weeks, the red bins are for glass/plastic bottles/jars as well as aluminium cans and aerosol cans, again emptied every 2 weeks, green bins are for garden clippings from trees/shrubs/grass and vegetable peelings from the kitchen these are emptied every 2 weeks in the same day as blue bins but different wagons, and finally the grey bins are for anything that can’t go in any of the other bins so polythene packaging, cooked food/meat waste, household cleaning and sanitary waste, broken items from the house that are small but not electrical. A homeowner is expected to put spent batteries in a plastic bag and place on top of the red bin, the refuse staf will pick the bag and tip into a separate compartment within the wagon, likewise electricals such as a broken toaster or kettle should be put on top of the grey bin for the refuse staff to separate. Anything that you can’t put in a bin or place on top of the bins down to the homeowner to take to the local recycling/refuse plant. This includes household furniture/mattresses/soft furnishings, large electricals such as fridges/freezers/TV’s, polystyrene packaging, old oil/fuel from cars/garden tools. In some areas there might be a Scrapman that travels around urban neighbourhoods that will collect anything metal that can be stripped down. They do this for free and they make it pay by stripping down all the components and weigh them in at a scrap yard for refund. So anything with a copper/iron/steel element is quite valuable but you’ve got to be bothered to strip down a washing machine or a dishwasher, it’s time consuming and not always a money maker if inferior metal was originally used by the manufacturers but that’s the risk the scrapman takes. There are other areas of the UK that don’t operate the same system as Lancashire but there will be similarities, they might not have as many bins or they may have a brown bag system for newspapers and cereal packets in lieu of the blue bin but the homeowner is expected to take all their bulk cardboard packaging to their local refuse themselves rather than it be collected. Some locations won’t accept small electricals and batteries being placed on top of the bin for the refuse collectors to set aside, they will expect the homeowner to their local centre. Some areas are better than others at recycling and reducing landfill to the lowest possible limit, some areas are absolutely useless and set a poor example. I hope this has helped you understand what we do in the UK and why generally our carbon footprint and harmful carbon output is so minimal compared to other countries. We invented and created the Industrial Revolution which enables the world to do so much and now we’re leading the minimising of the impact of industry to keep the planet spinning safely.
Generally when you register a brand new vehicle a registration number plate is issued, you do not get a choice. Generally a vehicle in the UK retains the registration number for its whole life.
The first 2 letters on the number plate indicate to the authorities, where the car is from (county then borough it was originally sold in). The first number is the month it was registered, the 2nd number is the last digit of the year it was made. The amount of people who think the 2 numbers are, in fact, the year of the vehicle was made, is astounding. I did, for ages. Only found out what it all represented, when I purchased my brand new car. I remember when the new laid out number plates came into use, and it was explained on the news, what it all represented. But not many remember it.

Bin colours vary by council region, where I am in Staffordshire, blue bin is recycling, black is general waste and non recyclables, green is garden waste (grass trimmings etc) and purple is paper and cardboard 😊 the principle is the same across the UK, just different colours for different places

Seagulls in the UK are huge , They eat fish and marine and freshwater invertebrates, both alive and already dead; insects and earthworms; rodents, eggs, carrion, offal, reptiles, amphibians, seeds, fruit, human refuse, and even other birds.
Pretty sure the 3rd headline "angry seagulls strike back" was refering to Brighton's football team who play in the Premier League. Their nickname is The Seagulls.
In most European countries we do recycling on a very serious scale. Paper, plastic, metal, glass in different colours, and kitchen waste all necessitate their own bin.
One funny sign i will always remember from many years ago a shoe repairs shop had a sign... Shoes repaired while you wait on one side of the doorway and continued on other side to say open all day Saturday only the open was missing and it was never replaced.

We have household, recycling and garden waste bins, some areas have separate glass and paper waste bins depending on the local recycling facilities One or two places even have smaller food waste bins. We also have council recycling centres where bulk household waste can be taken and dumped into skips (US = dumpsters). Waitrose is a chain of British supermarkets. Gloucester, pronounced 'Gloster'. The only time I've seen a 'Cuthbert' cake is on US reaction videos. A barm is a name for a bread bun in some parts of the North in Britain.
Hi 16:45 A Barm is basically a bread roll, similar to that used by McD for their Big Mac. A Pie, in this instance, is most likely a Pastry Case with meat in it, probably beef. A Pie in a Barm also known as a Wigan Kebab. Sometimes sold in Fish and chip shops.
Prices are checked against other supermarkets on a daily basis and have been for many years. If it’s a branded product, like Nescafé coffee or Kellogg’s Corn Flakes, it will be the same price as everywhere else. The difference is that Waitrose offers many other brands apart from the bog standard ones, brands you may not find anywhere else. At the other end of the scale so do Aldi and Lidl. You get what you pay for in terms of quality but what you buy is always down to your own personal taste buds.

On the bin/trash we have a lot of recycling collections so a lot of bins. My council have a black bin for unrecyclables, then a green bin for garden waste, a food bin for compostables and a smaller one for the kitchen, a tub for glass, and two bags, one for paper and one for plastic and metal. I’m all for recycling but having seven bins is a bit of a pain. 😂 Hence the way of knowing what gets collected when.
@vickytaylor9155 what happens to food waste .....we only have one large bin to recycle and a plastic box for glass....we can only recycle paper ..cardboard ..cans...plastic bottles... no food trays....everything is written on the front of bin with all the thing they want and don't want if you get it wrong they put a stickers across the lid with oops written on it....l think that every part of the uk has different recycling ♻️ rules the latest is all all plastic tray films have to be recycled at the local supermarket......
Here in South Yorkshire we have a pink lid bin for general household waste, black bin for glass/tin/plastics, green bin for paper & card and a Brown bin for garden waste. Colin and Cuthbert are caterpillar cakes made by supermarkets Aldi and Marks & Spencer, Marks & Spencer accused Aldi of stealing their idea... Different areas in the UK have many different names for the same thing a barn is I think what Americans call a bun here they are barns, baps, bread cakes, tea cakes, cobs and many others.
The "house on a car" is in fact a caravan/mobile home being transported on a lorry !! The boat is being towed by a car !! We have different coloured wheelie bins for recycling, non recycling and garden waste. Waitrose is the high end grocery store in the UK. Seagulls can be vicious !! They pinch your chips at the seaside ! GLOUCESTER is pronounced GLOSTER. BEANS, BEANS....GOOD FOR THE HEART. THE MORE YOU EAT....THE MORE YOU FART. THE MORE YOU FART....THE MORE YOU EAT. THE MORE YOU....SIT ON THE TOILET SEAT . For all you Americans out there. 17.00 = 5 o'clock. TUBE is pronounced CHOOB not TOOB ! LEIGH is pronounced LEE. BARM is one of the many names for a bread roll in the UK.
"A million housewives every day pick up a can of beans and say beans means farts" (farts replacing the word Heinz as in the original Heinz TV Ad jingle).
The slice of bread I assume was to try for size in the toasters. There are very different sizes of toaster and bread slices. Sometimes the bread doesn't fit. You can end up with the bread wedged where you force it in or you have to toast one end then turn it round to toast the other end , it's very annoying. Clever idea taking it to try.
England's greatest contribution to the world - the full English Breakfast. Included at all B&Bs. Sausages, eggs, bacon, fried tomatoes, beans, ham, toast, muffin, coffee or tea, and anything else you can get on the plate. Lets you skip lunch and go for a pint instead. Sarnie and crisps at sixes. What a way to live. I just love it.

The UK is an island, seagulls (mostly herring gulls - the rest aren't as obnoxious) are a big thing most places here, they are the flying trash panda anywhere near the coast (and even some inland areas). They are also pretty big and quite aggressive, my workplace has a local one the muggs people coming out the nearby supermarket.

To enlighten you, in the U.K. we do have many bins, I live in a flat (apartment) and we have communal bins as follows; general waste, cardboard and paper, recyclable plastic/glass/tin cans and finally kitchen waste. Four bin types in total (technically one is a box and another a mini bin, the others are wheelie bins). Some homes also have garden waste bins (one of our neighbouring blocks has one as he’s our resident gardener for the communal garden. Personally I think a light indicator is a great idea to tell you which bin it is and what day it goes out.
We have three types of dustbins here in nottingham, standard food type none recycle stuff, garden waste and recyclable stuff, they each go out on the same day of the week but alternate weekly, except for the garden waste that seems very random and only happens in the summer months anyway.
I live near the dinosaur sinkhole. It was there for a very long time. We have several bins. In our area we have a large green bin for garden waste, we have to pay to have it emptied (as well as paying our council tax) a large blue bin for bottles & cans etc. a small green one for paper, a small brown one for food waste & a large black bin for any other waste. Other councils differ, some have more bins some less,and some use different colours. Food bins go out every week, the black bin one week & recycling bins the next week
Depending where you are there's often separate bins you put out for collection on different days for general recycling, general waste, glass, and garden waste.
These are great! Most local authorities have different coloured bins for different types of waste- recycling, regular waste, garden waste, and maybe even separate paper waste. Each type has it's own collection schedule (often it's alternate weeks for recycling and household waste) and we spend hours trying to remember which week it is so we can put the right bin out. The car licence plate is a standard British licence plate - the first two letters indicate the geographical area the car was registered,, and the following 2 numbers indicate the age of the car - so you can't blame anyone for 'choosing' it.
The bins I have in Essex are 1 .general rubbish 2.paper and card 3.metal 4 glass 5.plastic and film packaging 6.clothing and textiles 7.garden and green waste So yes there are a lot of bins and they won’t take it if it’s mixed or too many general waste bins or you can get fined if you don’t separate your rubbish .
Barm cake is the slang for white bread rolls around Manchester and South Lancashire in northwestern England. Pie in a barm is a meat pie shoved inside a well-buttered white roll, and it's bloody lovely, especially after a few pints!
Never knew that "barm cake" was white rolls. Only ever heard of them being order in "Roy's Rolls" on "Corrie" 😀😃😄 Barmbrack is a yeast bread with sultanas and raisins, mixed spices etc., is a tradition at Halloween in Ireland.☘☘☘
Seagulls are part of most UK towns, I think. We live in a city far from the seaside and we are still “blessed” with the daily noise of their laughs and cries 😅
We have four bins where I live, general waste (black), plastic bottles, tin cans and plastic packaging (grey), Green Garden waste (green), and cardboard and paper (black with bright purple lid). Other areas bin colours differ.
So I'm guessing people in blocks of flats go to a dumping station like here. We have a 6 different container system here. It's so many trips when needed. Used to go back and forth up to 8 times in an hour if it was one of those days.
Different bin colours for different items. I live in Oxford and we have Blue Bins for recycling green bins for household waste, a small green bin for food waste and a brown bin for garden waste... it can get confusing without checking what your neighbours put out of the council website lol
Northumberland is my home county. We've got four bins. Black for general waste, blue for paper,card and tins, green for garden waste and a small black bin for food waste.The food bin has a small caddy to hold food bags, which are then put in the lockable (to keep out vermin) bin. The food bags are taken to a "digester" to make methyne for electricity production
UK bins: week 1 - Normal household bin, week 2 - garden waste bin and recycling bin. This repeats every other week. Each bin has wheels and are different colours. Easiest way of keeping track is sticking your head out and checking what the neighbours have done.
We have a bin for general household waste black We have a bin for nappies and medical waste or adult incontinence pads We have a bin for plastic, paper, card, fabric, bottles, cans, recycling its green We have a bin for garden waste trimmings, weeds, prined shrub pieces.ĺts brown. Different bins are emptied in different days Garden waste is taken and turned into compost and residents can purchase it from the council .
Bins ('trash cans'') at least three, usually colour-coded, for general waste, recyclables and garden ('yard') waste (lawn trimmings etc). There is often a separate food waste container (which should be emptied weekly) and other areas break down recyclables by type--glass/metal/paper/plastic. Each colour is collected on a different day or week. Putting out the wrong bin means it won't be emptied and it could be three weeks until the next collection. Mixing the wrong waste types means the bin won't be emptied and you get a large 'sticker of shame' telling you not to be such a naughty citizen!
We have 4 bins here in our area of the UK. Black - general household waste, brown - glass, plastics and tins, blue - paper and cardboard and Green for organic food/garden waste. (edit) And that place is Leigh which became relevant a few pictures later with the 6 to a table sign. Not that it matters but it is pronounced the same as the name Lee.
We have four bin types and one sack type (and its different for each region, to add to the confusion). For me its general garbage/trash (black, large), plastic and metal recycling (black, small), paper and glass recycling (green, small), food waste (brown, small with lid), cardboard (blue sack) and garden cuttings (green, large). Things are also rarely properly labelled.
Black bin-emptying the bin inside your house Blue bin-plastic Brown bin-nature You have different days in i think a month you put them out (Im never on bin duty in my house so correct me if im wrong)
unfortunately recycling has gone nuts here in the uk with about 8 different colour bins right now. general waste in green bins. brown bins for general recyclables. garden bins are grey topped (usually brown bottom along with it). red for hard palstic recyclable. blue for paper based recycle. yellow is textiles. solid grey is also general but depends on local council. theres also now purple as well which no one is sure yet what goes in it. but we usually only have about 3 maximum in a residential house green for general waste, brown and grey top for garden waste, and a brown for recycle.

A large number of our settlements are on the coast or within a gull's flight of it, so they're pretty much everywhere. Some are shy, while others are more confident & will come right up to you. One near me would go into a newsagent's & take their fave crisps on the regular, & several townsfolk paid for the crisps the gull took. As with every creature though, you get some who are intentionally nasty, like the attacking one who started the gull/human war in the scenario in the vid

Different colour bins for either sea or landfill.
For my area in England it's just two: grey general, green for recycles. But honestly, you know it all gets put in the same landfill ^^
The colored bins are to make you feel better. It all goes to the same plant which dumps it all into the same hole✌
@@rosey-19 no here . we now have a grey one for plastics and cans .think the blue one is being phased out. brown for garden and food and green for the rest. ous not been emptied for 4 weeks now. the streets a mess
@@shmupperfromhell Well, at least here it gets incinerated. But some stuff actually gets recycled - if they can make money from it. The waste paper for example, or the glass, but also the bio stuff. That gets composted and thats sold again. But the plastic recycling is mainly a myth. Its much to difficult and expensive, so its mostly incinerated or put in landfills. And thats the "good" option - if things go bad, its shipped to Bangladesh or so, and they throw it into the sea.
I'm from Northumberland, nice to see it represented!
Beautiful place and a great tourist choice for people who prefer peace and quiet combined with a lot of natural beauty.
I love Northumberland, it's people are so friendly.

There's an old song called "Mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the mid-day sun."
i.e. We're a nation of eccentrics and proud of it!😁
Written by the great Noel Coward. Also an album by Joe Cocker, from 1970.
England is just one part of the UK, though...
Yep we have a British sense of humour, we can find a reason to laugh at anything. I think it's because of the weather, because we have so much rain we have to cheer our selves up somehow.
The two guys sitting in the rain reminds me when I once saw two women having coffee outside in snow. They were sitting at a table which had an inch of snow on it, chatting and having coffee. I suspect they were only able to smoke outdoors.
Hahah that sinkhole with the Dino's was near me.. in Flackwell Heath, Buckinghamshire. A sink hole appeared in the street outside some shops and was there for years before it was repaired.
Barm is a bread roll
In my town brown bins is for tin cans plastic and glass waste blue is for paper and cardboard black is for rubbish green is food and garden waste green are emptied every week the others are rotated they go brown then the next week is black then the blue then back to brown
In the UK we recycle 70 - 80 % of all our rubbish/garbage where it's more like 30% in the US.
We often have multiple rubbish wheelie bins which are different colours to denote what you should put in that particular bin. We also have boxes too.
For example in my area there are three bins. A red bin for cardboard and plastic recycling, a brown bin for garden waste such as lawn cuttings and then a green bin for general waste. But then there are stacker boxes for things like glass jars and tin/soda cans.
Different rubbish/garbage trucks will come around each week. Eg, one week they come empty my green bin and boxes, the next week they come and empty my red and brown bins.
The idea behind this system is that all the rubbish/garbage is pre sorted by the public at your home before pickup which makes it easier for it be recycled.
That recycling rate is a bit optimistic, it's below 50% in all the home nations of the UK, except Wales which is just below 60%
We have four wheelie bins here in Lincolnshire, (Black) for general waste, (Grey) for plastic bottles and plastic packaging and glass, (Green) for garden waste, (Black with bright purple lid) for cardboard and paper.
@@nicholascarrington4202 ... It's 51% in North Lincolnshire England, but in my county in South Kesteven South Lincolnshire England it's only 43%.
We like to think we do, but a huge amount of recycling actually goes to landfill once it reaches the so called recycling centre. It's a scandal. It doesn't help that the Brits are terrible at following recycling rules. .
Where I live we have one communal bin for recycling and one for everyone's rubbish, the rubbish lorry comes and throws it all in the same lorry and drives off.

I’m in the uk and I once took a lightbulb with me when buying a replacement table lamp for one I broke. So as to make sure I got a lamp that fits the same bulb. So the bread and toaster scenario seems pretty practical and sensible to me 😂👏
I too used to take a light bulb wen needed buy replacement, I was called strange by my other half when I told him to take one, he didn't and lo and behold bought the wrong one. so I'm glad Im not crazy, but then again as brits were all a little crazy lol
@@summersmile27 yeah we are crazy but practical
yEs, definately better to pay an extra £6.98 to make sure you buy a lamp with the correct fitting, than waste those 32 lightbulbs you saved money on when you bulk baught 50 of them, when they were 73 pence a pop!
@@eddieleslie694 I don’t know what you are talking about. But I broke my lamp the bulb survived and didn’t see any reason why it could not be reused and that same bulb it’s still going strong even now in the replacement lamp I brought.
British seagulls are huge in comparison to what most people in the states are used to. They will grab small dogs and eat them. And being an island, there's a lot of them. And a barm is basically just like a burger bun. Every area of the UK has a different term for it and barm is from the north west. Cobs, breadcakes, butties, etc.
Play your cards right and they might even carry off the odd annoying child.
I'm convinced that seagulls are dead pirates who have been reincarnated! That explains why they are so evil and good at raiding!

In Britain we tend to have 4 bins: 1 for general waste, 1 for plastic, metal and glass, 1 for paper and cardboard and 1 for garden waste. Bin people collect different rubbish from different bins on different days and it depends on where you live
We’ve got 4 in Airdrie but I think they are going to start charging for certain bins . Well they can FO , that’s why I pay council tax , which is also going up yet they’re reducing services it’s a pure cash grab . They are nothing but greedy Bs
We have 7 different bins (not by choice). At this point it's more like a hobby than just dealing with rubbish :(
😂true
And most of it will go to a landfill anyway.
You're lucky, I only have 5.
Brown(Paper&cardboard), blue(plastic),green(garden and compostable food waste),black(non-recyclable), and a grey plastic tub(not really a bin, but used for anything considered hazardous like batteries, glass, etc).
What are your other 2?
😂😂
Councils appear to have forgotten that they work for us not vice-versa.
The BINDICATOR is useful because in the UK there is a set bin schedule you have a green bin that pay for and you put grad clipping or branches basically any plant waste, then we have the food bin for food waste a small bin for food waste only, the usual black bin for all general waste and then of course you have recycling and it can be: food bin green bin and recycling one week and black bin and food the next so if you miss one you’ll have to wait 2 weeks for it to be collected next orrrr you call the council and they have a missed bins line but that’s usually only meant for closed roads or the dustman has not spotted your bin out but most people call when they have put it out way too late and they have already been… but yes bindicator is needed for this
My bindicator is to see what everyone else does 😂 Usually the more mature residents on the street know whats happening
I've put two separate bi-weekly reminders on my calendar.
Where I live in the UK, we have 4 different bins to put out: general waste, recycling, food waste and garden waste
The council’s are about to charge us for getting our grass bin emptied. They sent me a survey asking which services I thought were essential to non essential things like ;home care , addiction services it covered a wide range of topics but it was clear they have no money & are going to make us pay for their incompetence,
03:28 it depends in the area but generally, most UK councils have a recycling/refuse programme. In my own area (Lancashire in the North West England area), we have 3 wheels bins, ‘blue’, ‘red’, ‘green’, ‘grey’; the blue bin is for paper and cardboard and is emptied every 2 weeks, the red bins are for glass/plastic bottles/jars as well as aluminium cans and aerosol cans, again emptied every 2 weeks, green bins are for garden clippings from trees/shrubs/grass and vegetable peelings from the kitchen these are emptied every 2 weeks in the same day as blue bins but different wagons, and finally the grey bins are for anything that can’t go in any of the other bins so polythene packaging, cooked food/meat waste, household cleaning and sanitary waste, broken items from the house that are small but not electrical. A homeowner is expected to put spent batteries in a plastic bag and place on top of the red bin, the refuse staf will pick the bag and tip into a separate compartment within the wagon, likewise electricals such as a broken toaster or kettle should be put on top of the grey bin for the refuse staff to separate.
Anything that you can’t put in a bin or place on top of the bins down to the homeowner to take to the local recycling/refuse plant. This includes household furniture/mattresses/soft furnishings, large electricals such as fridges/freezers/TV’s, polystyrene packaging, old oil/fuel from cars/garden tools.
In some areas there might be a Scrapman that travels around urban neighbourhoods that will collect anything metal that can be stripped down. They do this for free and they make it pay by stripping down all the components and weigh them in at a scrap yard for refund. So anything with a copper/iron/steel element is quite valuable but you’ve got to be bothered to strip down a washing machine or a dishwasher, it’s time consuming and not always a money maker if inferior metal was originally used by the manufacturers but that’s the risk the scrapman takes.
There are other areas of the UK that don’t operate the same system as Lancashire but there will be similarities, they might not have as many bins or they may have a brown bag system for newspapers and cereal packets in lieu of the blue bin but the homeowner is expected to take all their bulk cardboard packaging to their local refuse themselves rather than it be collected. Some locations won’t accept small electricals and batteries being placed on top of the bin for the refuse collectors to set aside, they will expect the homeowner to their local centre.
Some areas are better than others at recycling and reducing landfill to the lowest possible limit, some areas are absolutely useless and set a poor example. I hope this has helped you understand what we do in the UK and why generally our carbon footprint and harmful carbon output is so minimal compared to other countries. We invented and created the Industrial Revolution which enables the world to do so much and now we’re leading the minimising of the impact of industry to keep the planet spinning safely.
Generally when you register a brand new vehicle a registration number plate is issued, you do not get a choice. Generally a vehicle in the UK retains the registration number for its whole life.
The first 2 letters on the number plate indicate to the authorities, where the car is from (county then borough it was originally sold in). The first number is the month it was registered, the 2nd number is the last digit of the year it was made.
The amount of people who think the 2 numbers are, in fact, the year of the vehicle was made, is astounding. I did, for ages. Only found out what it all represented, when I purchased my brand new car.
I remember when the new laid out number plates came into use, and it was explained on the news, what it all represented. But not many remember it.

We have household, recycling and garden waste bins, some areas have separate glass and paper waste bins depending on the local recycling facilities One or two places even have smaller food waste bins. We also have council recycling centres where bulk household waste can be taken and dumped into skips (US = dumpsters). Waitrose is a chain of British supermarkets. Gloucester, pronounced 'Gloster'. The only time I've seen a 'Cuthbert' cake is on US reaction videos. A barm is a name for a bread bun in some parts of the North in Britain.
Hi

A Barm is basically a bread roll, similar to that used by McD for their Big Mac.
A Pie, in this instance, is most likely a Pastry Case with meat in it, probably beef.
A Pie in a Barm also known as a Wigan Kebab.
Sometimes sold in Fish and chip shops.
For a proper Wigan kebab it’s got to be a meat and potato pie

Waitrose is a high end supermarket here in the UK where you buy groceries from at usually a higher price compared to other grocery stores.
Best supermarket there is, marvellous.
Prices are checked against other supermarkets on a daily basis and have been for many years. If it’s a branded product, like Nescafé coffee or Kellogg’s Corn Flakes, it will be the same price as everywhere else. The difference is that Waitrose offers many other brands apart from the bog standard ones, brands you may not find anywhere else. At the other end of the scale so do Aldi and Lidl. You get what you pay for in terms of quality but what you buy is always down to your own personal taste buds.

The comment about the chips is so touching !
On the bin/trash we have a lot of recycling collections so a lot of bins. My council have a black bin for unrecyclables, then a green bin for garden waste, a food bin for compostables and a smaller one for the kitchen, a tub for glass, and two bags, one for paper and one for plastic and metal. I’m all for recycling but having seven bins is a bit of a pain. 😂 Hence the way of knowing what gets collected when.

We have four bins. A waste bin, a recycling bin, a food waste bin and a garden waste bin. They all go out on different days in the month.

"A million housewives every day pick up a can of beans and say beans means farts" (farts replacing the word Heinz as in the original Heinz TV Ad jingle).
The slice of bread I assume was to try for size in the toasters. There are very different sizes of toaster and bread slices. Sometimes the bread doesn't fit. You can end up with the bread wedged where you force it in or you have to toast one end then turn it round to toast the other end , it's very annoying. Clever idea taking it to try.

To enlighten you, in the U.K. we do have many bins, I live in a flat (apartment) and we have communal bins as follows; general waste, cardboard and paper, recyclable plastic/glass/tin cans and finally kitchen waste. Four bin types in total (technically one is a box and another a mini bin, the others are wheelie bins). Some homes also have garden waste bins (one of our neighbouring blocks has one as he’s our resident gardener for the communal garden.
Personally I think a light indicator is a great idea to tell you which bin it is and what day it goes out.
Barm, is like a bread roll, but the dough bakes slightly firmer than a soft roll.
We have three types of dustbins here in nottingham, standard food type none recycle stuff, garden waste and recyclable stuff, they each go out on the same day of the week but alternate weekly, except for the garden waste that seems very random and only happens in the summer months anyway.
I live near the dinosaur sinkhole. It was there for a very long time.
We have several bins. In our area we have a large green bin for garden waste, we have to pay to have it emptied (as well as paying our council tax) a large blue bin for bottles & cans etc. a small green one for paper, a small brown one for food waste & a large black bin for any other waste. Other councils differ, some have more bins some less,and some use different colours. Food bins go out every week, the black bin one week & recycling bins the next week

There is an ongoing debate about regional variations of names for the bread roll. In the Coventry area we call it a batch.
I'm about 15miles away , we call them cobs.
Cobs or rolls and I'm just down the road in Brum.
Depending where you are there's often separate bins you put out for collection on different days for general recycling, general waste, glass, and garden waste.
These are great!
Most local authorities have different coloured bins for different types of waste- recycling, regular waste, garden waste, and maybe even separate paper waste. Each type has it's own collection schedule (often it's alternate weeks for recycling and household waste) and we spend hours trying to remember which week it is so we can put the right bin out.
The car licence plate is a standard British licence plate - the first two letters indicate the geographical area the car was registered,, and the following 2 numbers indicate the age of the car - so you can't blame anyone for 'choosing' it.
The bins I have in Essex are
1 .general rubbish
2.paper and card
3.metal
4 glass
5.plastic and film packaging
6.clothing and textiles
7.garden and green waste
So yes there are a lot of bins and they won’t take it if it’s mixed or too many general waste bins or you can get fined if you don’t separate your rubbish .
Barm cake is the slang for white bread rolls around Manchester and South Lancashire in northwestern England. Pie in a barm is a meat pie shoved inside a well-buttered white roll, and it's bloody lovely, especially after a few pints!

@@martinwebb1681 so like here. Ours is just massive containers 6 minutes away. And they're emptied by the city .
Different bin colours for different items. I live in Oxford and we have Blue Bins for recycling green bins for household waste, a small green bin for food waste and a brown bin for garden waste... it can get confusing without checking what your neighbours put out of the council website lol
Northumberland is my home county. We've got four bins. Black for general waste, blue for paper,card and tins, green for garden waste and a small black bin for food waste.The food bin has a small caddy to hold food bags, which are then put in the lockable (to keep out vermin) bin. The food bags are taken to a "digester" to make methyne for electricity production
UK bins: week 1 - Normal household bin, week 2 - garden waste bin and recycling bin. This repeats every other week. Each bin has wheels and are different colours. Easiest way of keeping track is sticking your head out and checking what the neighbours have done.
Depends entirely on where you are!
We have a bin for general household waste black
We have a bin for nappies and medical waste or adult incontinence pads
We have a bin for plastic, paper, card, fabric, bottles, cans, recycling its green
We have a bin for garden waste trimmings, weeds, prined shrub pieces.ĺts brown.
Different bins are emptied in different days
Garden waste is taken and turned into compost and residents can purchase it from the council .
We have a separate box for glass, and a smaller kitchen waste bin as well.
You have to pay to buy the compost?????
You can get 50 kg per day for free here
Very complicated indeed.😮
If you have to buy it, make your own. Buy a compost bin, put grass cuttings etc in with food waste, greens spud peelings etc = free compost
Bins ('trash cans'') at least three, usually colour-coded, for general waste, recyclables and garden ('yard') waste (lawn trimmings etc). There is often a separate food waste container (which should be emptied weekly) and other areas break down recyclables by type--glass/metal/paper/plastic. Each colour is collected on a different day or week.
Putting out the wrong bin means it won't be emptied and it could be three weeks until the next collection. Mixing the wrong waste types means the bin won't be emptied and you get a large 'sticker of shame' telling you not to be such a naughty citizen!
We have 4 bins here in our area of the UK. Black - general household waste, brown - glass, plastics and tins, blue - paper and cardboard and Green for organic food/garden waste.
(edit) And that place is Leigh which became relevant a few pictures later with the 6 to a table sign. Not that it matters but it is pronounced the same as the name Lee.
We have four bin types and one sack type (and its different for each region, to add to the confusion). For me its general garbage/trash (black, large), plastic and metal recycling (black, small), paper and glass recycling (green, small), food waste (brown, small with lid), cardboard (blue sack) and garden cuttings (green, large).
Things are also rarely properly labelled.
Black bin-emptying the bin inside your house
Blue bin-plastic
Brown bin-nature
You have different days in i think a month you put them out
(Im never on bin duty in my house so correct me if im wrong)
unfortunately recycling has gone nuts here in the uk with about 8 different colour bins right now.
general waste in green bins.
brown bins for general recyclables.
garden bins are grey topped (usually brown bottom along with it).
red for hard palstic recyclable.
blue for paper based recycle.
yellow is textiles.
solid grey is also general but depends on local council.
theres also now purple as well which no one is sure yet what goes in it.
but we usually only have about 3 maximum in a residential house green for general waste, brown and grey top for garden waste, and a brown for recycle.
My suggestion for the purple bin .... councillors !!
