The Orange Recycling Bags

I don't know why the Council changed the design of the recycling bags, just over a year ago.

But it went from a deep orange to a light, see through orange.

Now, I seem to find my attention is attacted to see what is in them and the main thing I seem to notice is the absensce or the presence of beer cans.

Some seem to have quite a collection of beer cans for a normal household.

I was therefore wondering whether it was a means by which the health authorities could walk round to identify households where someone may have a drink problem.

For the record, I enjoy my real ale and my stash of glass for recycling is to be found on the front dor step as if I am expecting the milk person to deliver a few more bottle.

Will the health Taliban soon be checking on our Orange bags to identify our health problems?
