| It's only 8.45 a.m. but already the ruthless operatives of the DRIU are parked up and having a coffee break. They've probably been out on the streets since daybreak (8.30 a.m.). They have at least one mattress in custody in their special high-sided escape-proof unit. The inset pic shows the side view of the doubled-up prisoner. |

| wim commented on 02.17.05 | | Where I live, bins are chipped. We have green bins for green wast (gft, g=groenten=vegetables, f=fruit, t =tuin= garden)and for householdwaste and grey bins for houshold waste. Both are chipped. We pay in advance. Everytime bins are collected they are registered. Unchipped bins or bins without money left on the account are not emptied. The household stuff is deducted per kilo (the bins get weighted automatically), the green per time.Apart from that we have blue sacs for tetrabrik and plastics, paper is collected free, small containers for batteries and chemistry.Only once in a while big volumes (like mats) |

| DVD Dan commented on 02.17.05 | | I just read that some town in England is installing microchips in their waste cans to track the amount of trash each household generates. I assume a RAT (RubbishAddedTax) will follow shortly. |

| Smart Set commented on 02.16.05 | | Hang on, I think I see the twine in the main pic. So it is the same matt. |

| Smart Set commented on 02.16.05 | | Well spotted, FOD. It's highly likely that this is the same matt, as this is the morning after Vogon's pic. It's the same colour and pattern but, having examined my close-up original, there's absolutely no sign of that twine it was trussed up with. |
