Fly-tipping the occasional fridge or car is doable - it's one thing - but fly-tipping a household's rubbish all the time, just because of amount and frequency, is something else. Equally, I don't think there'd be that many bonfires, as much of the UK is too built up. People are also basically law-abiding. The padlocks is the reverse of a problem that I've encountered before - grocery deliveries when you're not there. Tesco has now opened a supermarket just round the corner, but before that I used to order groceries online. Being a bit scatter-brained, I was never sure when I'd be in, and a couple of weeks' worth of provisions wouldn't fit in a postbox :) so I wondered if it'd've been possible to have a large lockbox that people could leave groceries in. I think the logistics would have been too much. I’m not sure, Phil.

One also wonders if bins with combination locks will be issued, to avoid someone else’s rubbish being secretly slipped into a bin just prior to collection. Some poor suckers are bound to be caught out when the first thing they know about it is when they wonder why their bill is so high.

Unless someone is going to watch all the footage of me taking things in and out and whether I go past the chute, I doubt it. Hardly.
