This month, BBC Surrey Breakfast Show host James Cannon accidently stumbles on a new hobby while taking out the recycling
TODAY is recycling day. Arguably it is every day on BBC Surrey as I retell the same jokes again and again. However, in this instance I’m talking about our blue bin.
It’s collected every two weeks and is always full to the brim, so much so that sometimes I, or one of the kids, needs to get in the bin to squash it all down so we can fit the rest in. This does of course carry the risk of one of my neighbours spotting what we are up to but it really is a case of needs must.
