Default Re: A poor old HMV at the Recycling Centre...

Only today I took some garden rubbish to the local tip - a privately run affair. There, on a table, was a smart-looking Tandberg R2R machine in really good condition. So I asked the supervisor the obvious - and got the expected answer. So I offered him £10 for it. "No!" came the reply. "£20?" said I. "No: not at any price!"

Such responses I have a bit of a job to understand. This is a privately-operated organisation; they operate to make a profit. I can only suppose that it's a ruling from head office. The operative was simply following the Rules; I would not say that he is a 'jobs-worth'.

All a bit annoying, nevertheless.
