How long before we have to register each turd we produce?

The one I produced this morning would certainly attract the top rate of tax.

The problem is more with the jobsworth idiots (at defra in this case) who interpret these directives as law. Do you think the French and Italians will be registering their rubbish? Look at the Italian response to human rights directives

It's high time we had a department of compost heaps to look into the growing menace of unregistered composts. Composts might for example be being used as dumps for discarded forms, or even contain unlicensed mixtures of different types of rotten vegetation, which could be a breeding places for bacteria. How would we ever know?

Of course, this isn’t all bad news; they’ll want an umpty gazillion pound database system to store the details of every compost heap in the country, which might help the contracting market.

If you dig a hole in the ground for your compost then surely it isn’t a compost heap any more; it’s a flat piece of ground. The soil you’ve removed is a soil heap, which doesn’t have to be registered.This is, by the way, probably the very best way to produce top quality garden compost.

... but this creates more jobs earning 30K per annum, and these people pay tax. Oh, I forgot the cost of the non-contributory, index-linked pensions....
