Paper straws once used are designated as food waste and are currently unfit for recycling under The Waste (Scotland) Act 2012 and succeeding amendments.

I think the talk around SUP (single use plastics) has been hyped up and some of the photos have been photoshopped.

However, they do make us all think. I do now try to avoid SUP’s wherever possible now. (I’m a Tory not a treehugger).

Why would you think that?

I did visit Ping when he lived in London but he'd married Suzy by that time and she made him use the toilet when he wanted a s'hite.




We went to see Spurs and just paid at the gate.

The news was saying that in the last twenty two months China has produced the same amount of steel as 150 years of british steel production. Thats f@cking mad. Is china just a massive f@ck off steelworks?

I know for a fact that a lot of oil companies wont use Chinese steel due to the poor quality stuff that was getting churned out. Seemed a really naïve, amateur mistake to be producing steel for the global oil and gas industry and not be making sure it was of adequate quality. Considering the stringent tests us inspection bods carry out on all new manufactured gear it was never going to go unnoticed.

My work is 12 years old. Built in Korea with Chinese steel. I have been on better conditioned 30+ year old rigs in the North Sea where not only are they older thy are battered by the much harsher elements. This place is suppose to run until 2032. Nae a f@cking hope.
