There's an ASDA near us that's on two levels - food on the ground floor, and everything else (clothes, electricals, household stuff, etc.) in the basement. Travelator-type escalators between the two. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming you've got something relatively small like bags of rubbish or even a mattress, surely it's just as easy to go to the tip as it is to find some area where you can fly tip? Most fly-tippers have vans and vans can't go to the tip unless they have a pre-booked appointment and I think there is a charge as well. This is what leads to the fly tipping. My Dad has a van and although its not used for commercial use (he's retired) he says it too much of a hassle to use it to go to the tip. As the appointment you get may be at 4pm next Thursday. He just uses his car instead and can turn up at anytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True story which captures powered walkways and Usain Bolt: My wife and I were walking through Kuala Lumpur airport towards our departure gate after a South-East Asia holiday in March 2017 when we heard the beep of an electric kart approaching from behind us. Sitting at the back of the kart was the giant figure of Usain Bolt. I think I was a bit ‘star struck’ because I immediately pointed at Usain and exclaimed to my other half “Look, look, that’s Usain Bolt!”. Usain smiled, safe in the knowledge he would soon be overtaking us and avoid any further awkwardness; except, just as his electric kart drew along side us, travelling at about twice our walking pace, my wife and I joined a powered walkway which instantly doubled our walking speed to the same speed as Usain’s electric kart. Usain laughed - presumably at how awkward he felt at being locked at the same pace adjacent to each other for the best part of a minute. Eventually I think I felt a bit awkward too because I finally stopped staring. Usain had the speed advantage at the gate security because he was ushered to the front of the the queue whilst we had to wait for a couple minutes. Credit to the security staff though, because we noted that Usain was scanned and his passport checked as thoroughly as the rest of us. Usain and I were both in business class on our return to Heathrow - he might be the fastest human in the world but I could stretch out more! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
