I HAVE just read the Gazette letters page.

The great wheelie bin catastrophe continues. I confidently expectthe heavens to fall, plagues of locusts, anti-bin vigilantes in balaclavas roaming the street.

For goodness sake people, get a grip.

Yes, many of us were againstthem.

Yes, Malvern Hills District Council has hardly covered itselfin glory over the bins’ introduction.

Yes,the bins are unsightly ifthey have to be kept atthe front of a property, as they do in the terrace where I live.

However,they have arrived,like unwelcome aliens; and itis very unlikely thatthey will return to their home planet.

So, please find something else to moan about before I have to go and hide in my own wheelie bin. And, accentuating the positive, be gratefulthat we can now recycle glass. I can feel a bottle of wine coming on.
