I discovered recently that the half piece of plasterboard I had left over in an unusable stated couldn't be taken to the recycling centre without fear of having my self incarcerated or at least fined heavily. Actually a bollocking from the chap at the recycling centre would have been even worse. He's helpful but fearsome if you put something in the wrong skip. Plasterboard has to be taken to the private commercial plasterboard recycler. Unless, of course, you break it up into small pieces and put it in with other domestic rubbish in a plastic bag. But of course no one with a care for the environment would do that.<br /><br />Oddly I see almost no cuckoo spit here so presumably have almost no froghoppers.
