Tight arsed council, just changing the lids, wonder if they did a lid swap deal with neighbouring councils? welcome along btw
They sure are tight. They took away my ordinary rubbish bin (green top) one day and left one half the size. Apparently this encourages one to recyle more. My wife is an ardent recycler to the extent that I spend more money washing all the bottles etc than they are worth. (It's the right thing though.)
Small update on the bike and of interest to Justatad. One of the niggles I have had is the standard seat. The knee/hip ergos are better than my ZX10R, but the Pani puts more weight on the wrists. I find this is exacerbated by the downward slope on the standard seat. I bought Justatad's DP comfort seat and fitted it last weekend. It is higher at the front and flatter in profile; a big improvement. Some stomp grip is next on the list, although I am not sure how I will place it as my knees are below the tank and more on the plastic between the tank and fairing. I would be interested to know what others have done. Some pics:
