Just read this article in the Rotten Boroughs section of the current Eye: Eye reader Dave Burns, of Hertford, was delighted to receive a cheque for £40 from East Hertfordshire district council for signing up to the "Nappy Cash-Back" initiative run by the council on behalf of the national WasteAware partnership, which dishes out millions of pounds of taxpayers' dosh to citizens who sign a pledge to forswear the use of evil disposable nappies - of which eight million are thrown away daily, comprising 4 percent of household waste. Mr Burns tells the Eye: "I think it is fantastic that the council has sent me this money, without my having filled in a single form - especially as I don't have any kids." He plans to spend his windfall on "vindaloo and lager". Bottoms up! Hopefully Admin will advice if this is breaching copyright, I think you're allowed to quote a certain amount...
