No chance in the UK!


This small article from Autos.Canada.com caught my eye this morning; its a bit of an aaaaahhhh story, about the small Sicilian town of Castelbuono, which has replaced its four garbage collection trucks with donkeys.

Castelbuono's mayor claims using the donkeys saves money and is more environmentally friendly. And who can argue with that?

So could it catch on here in the UK? No chance whatsoever! All our donkeys are already in full-time employment ............. as councilors and politicians!

Eeee-awwww, eeee-awwww, eeee-awwways laughs at his own silly jokes.

My parents once had a villa in Southern Spain once.

And every day the basura man would come around and deliver bottled water from the local spring and take away the garbage in the panniers on his burro.

Worked a treat.

No... no chance.
