Heres a tip – if you’re planning to dump waste packaging by the canal, do try to remove identifying addresses from it, otherwise somebody may notice it and take the appropriate action. This empty box, originally containing a consignment from Strictly Ink, was addressed to a house in Peake Road, Walsall Wood and subsequently dumped by the canal near the Black Cock pub. To the person who discarded it, I’d just like to ask one thing: what the hell was wrong with using your recycling bin? I assume all the other crap surrounding it was yours, too.
I would deduce the individual who excreted this particular pile of rubbish onto the local environment must have walked past several bins to get it to the resting place in the scrub by the canal towpath, which makes the whole thing rather perplexing. It surely is a wonder.
I've pixellated the identifying data on this image, but it's there for all to see on the box itself. Whatever this package originally contained, it clearly wasn't an award from Mensa. 4:13pm, Friday 12th March 2010.
