Pitch etiquette

[Janine]

Well, I have seen some thread-drifts in my time………

 

[tonyidle]

Sites in the UK are geared for UK caravans that invariably reverse onto a pitch. This generally suits as most caravans have a front lounge. Motorhomes are probably 60%/40% UK/Continental build and most have a front lounge. Its not OK when using a van with a RH habitation door and front lounge to be forced to pitch facing a wall or hedge simply because a neighbouring pitch requires 'privacy'. I'm aware some sites enforce it but it is rarely mentioned in advance of arrival. There are hundreds of cls that have space enough to avoid privacy issues if privacy is required.

I do which is why I know what I'm talking about but some just open their mouth and spout vomit

If someone doesn't know what happens to their domestic landfill they really shouldn't comment on stuff they don't know. There's no one going through landfill waste

Actually that's nonsense. The dog waste goes in the same landfill waste bins as any other rubbish. The same as any dog waste at home goes in the landfill bin. At no time does that waste go to a recycling centre nor is it handled by anyone ...the truck tips it in a hole and its covered with earth.

I think your perhaps grasping at straws.

There's no requirement to register a dog in the UK so I can guarantee they have no idea how much dog crap there is going in bins . There are no dedicated dog waste bins anywhere around where I live. Plenty signs saying to use the bins that are there. In to which goes everything.

We’ve crossed swords before on other threads and once again please try to be polite.
I’m not talking nonsense or grasping at straws .
FYI there are dedicated dog waste bins about every 200m were I live and it is collected and disposed of regularly and further to one of your later posts general waste doesn’t all go to land fill , a lot of it does (approximately 57%) but a lot of it (the rest) is disposed by other means such as incineration ( which our council does and generates electricity as a by product)

So once again it doesn't go to a recycling centre. You may well have dedicated dog waste bins but the dog crap goes In any waste bin as instructed by councils all over the country and indeed Europe so yes in actual fact you are talking nonsense.

Can we please stop with the personal 'bashing' ... it gets very boring and you risk free holidays to Coventry.

I suggest you kiss and make up ... you know who you are (no not you Gina as you'll enjoy it too much!) ... and learn to count to ten before posting so you don't get drawn into these IMV silly childish spats.

A lot of domestic waste actually goes on a conveyor where an electromagnet removes metallic waste for recycling and then it's hand sorted before incineration or landfill. Presumably the dog waste bin stuff misses out that process.
Heres some hse guidance on how its done https://www.hse.gov.uk/waste/processing.htm
So no it's not all just shoved in landfill necessarily

 

[Reallyretired]

Mr Nothenraider, although your post has been deleted for the masses. I saw it. My brain is in gear and I do not need to shit in a bag and throw in some random bin for others to deal with to save few quid.
And dog waste in general goes in specific bins. As should your waste.

Around here and in other places too the specific dog waste bins are being removed and we are instructed to use any bin.
A skip (not a bin) is hired for a specific purpose and nobody other than the hirer should be putting anything in it. I don't think any responsible person would put bags of shit in someone else's skip.

Just slightly off topic on this re skips as a (just retired) builder people using any skip I hired as a free waste dump was a constant nightmare,on one occasion the proverbial little old lady neighbour to one job asked if I’d mind if she threw a carrier bag from her garden into my skip “sorry but unless I know what’s in it I can’t allow it”
Next morning as the skip wagon turned up I noticed a lone carrier bag in the skip,opened it to find broken asbestos sheet inside! The wagon driver commented “lucky you found that we reclaim and recycle all the waste in our skips and if we’d found that we would of reported you to the environment agency and you’d be liable for a minimum £2000 fine !!”
Polite knock on ladies door “I think you might of accidentally dropped this into my skip.”

In fact those who place things in skips paid for by others are in effect guilty of theft of space by which skips are charged. The hirer as you say is responsible for the content. Usually those evidenced are convicted of fly tipping. To me it's the same as Itinerant's dumping a load in a remote country lane. There are freeloaders everywhere!

Interestingly in my post above my reference to pik**s was auto changed to Itinerants. Is there a woke correction algorithum working here? I am aware that certain words are grossly offensive and would never use them, but surprised the Pky word was also so regarded!!!

We've had skips a fair bit over the past year I remember the days when it was £50 a bit of a shock now. With that and the tip sometimes being akward you can understand why fly tipping is more of a problem.

Yep this woke correction algorithum is working late on a Sunday and will ban you if you try to defeat the word censor again. It is in place for good reason. Thanks

Wow! I didn't realise the word was so emotive as to need censoring! I do now thanks for the information.

It's not emotive. It's a racial slur. One that can get forum owners interviewed under caution.

It's called conversation. When I meet up with my family for our monthly catch ups, we can start off from talking about work to George Michael to climate change to diets to falling in love, falling out of love, the price of fish................................................ ..........................................................................................We usually hold the table for a minimum of 4 hours !!!!

Probably could cost you more than £50 now if you visited your local amenities tip with some rubbish in your car
our local charge a lot of £5 a bag for certain stuff
Just gone through about 20 skips @£240 a time so not cheap now!!

That is why fly tipping is such a problem. I was shocked last night to see a lay by near me full of bags of rubbish.
