We should be so lucky...

We didn't have any feet.

We dreamed of having a tree. We had to make do with the privet hedge we lived underneath. (Yes obviously it should 'the privet hedge underneath which we lived').

"Legal fly-tipping" isn't a tautology. It is more like an oxymoron.

"Illegal fly-tipping" would be a tautology.

An oxymoron is a phrase where the component words seem opposed to the meaning of the phrase like "military intelligence"

In WWII, they chopped down everyone's wrought iron railings allegedly to make tanks and spitfires. The quality wasn't up to this so they dumped it all in the sea.

I reckon they do something similar with most of the recycled waste.
