I'm with you Greekman, I have a composter and local council also has a recycle plant for such waste. End of the day the recycle option costs less than landfill and creates a product that can be sold back. Our government also seams to be on the recycle route, our composter was provided free of charge, RRP was 39.99.

Haystack, I'm a member of the majority and I have a garden, ergo: of the ~7.5m others in this fair city, the majority must also have a garden...QED!

Unfortunately not. The majority live in towns and cities. Almost all the bigger houses are multiple occupancy with just one flat or bedsit having the garden plus large blocks of flats with no garden. I suspect that the average is a fraction of one garden per person.

Haystack,
As an ex allotment holder, I know that the amount of compost end result after composting bio degradable is very minute compared to the amount you start with.
If you fill a large bin with composting material, you end up with a volume of less that 20% of start volume. Most bio degradable material used in packaging will degrade down into almost nothing. Try filling a small bin with such material and you may be suprised how little you end up with.
How many of these city dwellers who don't have a garden go out and buy bagged compost for their window boxes or plants in pots.
If you look at the prices of small bags of compost, it shows that composting your own material can also save you money.
Having thought more re my previous statement (most have gardens) perhaps you are right re most don't have gardens, due to city/town dwellers, but my facts above are I am sure correct.

I have a very large garden and do make compost. I have always made it when I have had a garden. It wasn't very easy when I used to live in a flat the top of a large house in Pimlico though.

Composters are great but in my experience they do supply the rodent population with a nice pix and mix deli.

Not being as green-fingered as some here I shall not talk compost.
Heard words that SEO cash burn has halved...... another month to wait to see if that's the case but would be very welcomed news in this part of north london if its true.

A mere drop in the dishwashing ocean, but Quantum must be producing income for Stanelco; from Reckitt Benckiser's results today:-
"Dishwashing. Net revenues grew 3% to 591m. The Company's market share
remained strong in Europe and Worldwide helped by the launch of Finish /
Calgonit 5in1 and Finish / Calgonit Quantum. Net revenue growth was somewhat
held back due to higher promotional investment."

From PM's (for all his faults -many- the site is good for info to dyor on) site, bio air pillows on sale and seems to have positive interest (nothing on seo's own webite)and pulseline being pushed in japan. Also another interesting and viable patent granted.
...................and yet still no update from the new management.
Is this the new masochistic style of running a company?

Buy. Probably. Who knows.
Let us see what news is forthcoming and make a decision on that.
