Catch-22

Here's another for the "you couldn't make it up" collection. We are all constantly being told to shred any document which could be used by crooks to steal our identity - right? Well, a local council here in the Midlands has told its residents that they can't put shredded paper out for recycling, as it clogs up the machine! But more than that - they have also told them that they can't put it out with the non-recycling rubbish either, because it's paper!! Quite what they are supposed to do with it, I don't know, but I know what I'd be tempted to do with it, and it involves councillors and various intimate orifices!!!
