Charges & all

While talking to our neighbour lady today, I've got to know that the council charges £25 to remove the garden wastes. And the green-bags should also be bought from the council to bin the garden wastes in order to be taken way by them. I wonder why they sell green-bags at the stores if we have to get them from council. If you wanna have a clean garden, then you pay!. Otherwise, you keep your garden with overgrown bushes and the next day your neighbour calls up the council and complains. Then you have to meet the risk of paying even more. Thats how the trick works.
Our neighbour wanted to get rid of her old TV recently and for that as well, the council charged her around £25.00 even though she explained that she and her husband are pensioners. I think the best way to dispose such electronics is to give them away to charity. If they are working properly. The way we used to get rid of old clothes at home, is to give them to charity.

You get a prescription from the doctor, and you have to pay the prescription charge of £7.20 per item at the pharmacy. Just for that scribbled paper from the doctor (and this excludes the price of the medicine). The charges for TV license and Radio license are also far too much. PLUS council tax in thousands.
These kinda charges in expensive amounts is an additional way to suck away the earnings from the public after the ridiculous amounts of tax that peope are paying to the government.
