Before any claim is made that the genius switch has been flicked following the proposal to introduce a deposit scheme for recyclable bottles.
Half of Europe has implemented such schemes for many years and not just the Teutons, Goths and Visigoths who happen to have a particularly efficient way with a supermarket crate of beer.
Finish a bottle of water on the beach and somebody will soon be along to collect the empties.
It's a tremendous idea, perhaps this cove Gove is warming to Europe after all.
I could now attend to proposed punitive charges for filling in forms to be perused by somebody in fine fleece and cutting edge outdoor trousers at the Environment Agency, but will refrain as a long weekend is approaching and I'm informed that a vein bulging on the side of your head is not a good look and we shall be in company so several deep breaths and Happy Easter everyone.

When was a kid I used to take the empties back to supplement my pocket money. 3d back on every bottle and the 'mother lode' was a soda syphon returning a cool 7/6d. Another old new idea from Westminster then.

Yes, Corona was a different drink back then and came in many flavours.
