Truth and Thomson are not always the same thing.

Think I saw Jimbo a couple of times but too shy to say hello.

Awwww - That's a shame! Maybe next time???

She was in July.

I shook hands with Jimbo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Haven't washed it since then!

Also a squat, unless they've chucked them out!

There are others. There does seem to be some genetic disposition towards being bitten.

Being over-weight, drinking Marston's and breathing out a lot obviously don't help, either.

As I understand it, the collection has moved from local to island-wide, as part of the cut-back reorganisation. The paper recycling stacks were indeed high, and there have been strikes, but in general the "smelly" rubbish was being cleared frequently when we left 10 days ago. The paper mountains don't look good, but they don't smell.

It's something for the businesses to discuss with the Mayor of Avliotes.

I don't know what it's like in the other UK cities but here in Hull we have recently gone to fortnightly collections with alternating general waste one week and recycling paper and vegetable matter the next. Where there are flats with their bins outside the front it's noticeably smelly in the warm conditions.

Frankly, given the current Greek economic situation and the fact the people are in poverty and near starvation even on Corfu, we're lucky that it's as good as it is.
