Absolutely dreadful. IMO one of the worst crimes they could commit.

Is Shetland your next door neighbour
Blimey! Someone's had my old dishwasher away already!

Indeed!
My solution to this... Waste disposal centres should be open long hours and no charges for use, and then HUGE fine for anybody caught fly-tipping, confiscation of vehicle for anybody not paying the fine (unless vehicle worth less than fine, in which case confiscate goods to that value - UHD TV, iPhone, whatever)!
Unfortunately, it really is NOT! There are thousands of psychos out there doing things thousands of times worse to thousands of poor victims!
I have been feeling cold here today too so I turned the convector heater off and CH on, though only on minimum heat and 15 minutes on/15minutes off intervals.
Aldi have some cycling goods in at the moment. I bought a helmet for £8.99. It isn't as well finished as a more expensive one but that doesn't bother me - it fits my large head comfortably and will be taken down to Devon and left there on my next visit. I will ask my sister if she can pick up a track pump for me for £6.99. I want to get to the point where I have a stock of spares, tools, and cycling kit there so I can travel down carrying just one large rucksack.

If I can fit a blacksmith's leg vice, or ten stone of welding rods* in a rucksack when going on holiday, what trouble can a little track pump be?
*Other similar odd items have been carried in the same rucksack.

Last time, I had a 35 L rucksack full, a 25 L rucksack full, and a bike helmet strapped on the outside!
I could manage a track pump ties to the outside of the rucksack but why bother if one can be picked up down there?

You could probably fit more in a single 60 litre rucksack. Save you struggling with two daysacks.Last time, I had a 35 L rucksack full, a 25 L rucksack full, and a bike helmet strapped on the outside!

Rather than spending more money on yet another rucksack, I'll buy more of the stuff that I would be carting back and forth and leave it down there!
I'd like to be spending (say) 4+ 1 week holidays in Devon per year for (hopefully) 10+ years of cycling so that should be at least a couple of hundred bike rides. It's worth getting myself set up properly so I can travel 'light'.

Can get you a decent hard hat for those low doorways, at less than half price.
Similar reasons for taking two bikes to Ireland. They're there when I get there.

Already sorted!
I bumped the bump cap 30+ times in a week on my last visit. I came back without fuzzy headaches (concussion) that time, unlike the time before when the damage was evident for weeks afterwards. I can't take chances with head injuries, being permanently dosed up with warfarin. I am deliberately kept 250% more 'bleedy' than an average person because I am otherwise evidently way more 'clotty'!

I have short (-ish) legs already... I am 1.86 m tall (6' 1") but only have 81 cm (32") legs which would generally be found on a man significantly shorter than me.
My height seems to mainly come from my head, neck and torso, and I don't intend lopping anything off them!

Fair enough. Trying to get everything back inside, and working, in a shorter torso may not be easy.I have short (-ish) legs already... I am 1.86 m tall (6' 1") but only have 81 cm (32") legs which would generally be found on a man significantly shorter than me.

And it would appear that your legs are below average, 2 inches below to be exact.
The results were:
Average total length = 185.3cm (6"1')
Average leg length = 85.4cm
Relative leg length = 46.1% (85.4/185.3)

Morning. Dry and cold. Currently 3 degrees so not quite as cold as forecast unless it drops a bit more as daylight comes in.
Been sticking to the 4.2 mile flat riverside walk the last few days but might stick the new boots on and try the longer hilly walk and see how the foot holds up. I could feel it aching a bit in bed last night. Probably better keeping moving.
