Should I even bother recounting the latest Green Bin incident?

No, you have heard it all before. I shall just rage and seethe and glower at my collection of rotting vegetation. And wonder which of my neighbours create too much refuse, and "topped" up my Green bin with 8 plastic bags of non-compostable refuse, which the "roadside operations team" (or whatever they are calling themselves these days - hey - R.O.T. - not a bad acronym) did not remove.

Darn! Recounted it anyway. Oh well, you'll just have to share my Grim. And don't get me started on Coca-Cola Light.

Coca-Cola Light?

Go on, you know you want to!

I've got Diet Coke here on my desk, but I know that if I go into several of the local shops around here in Southwark (or at home in Feltham) that the fridges will be full of cans of Coca-Cola Light ... just not quite the same thing, is it?

It's gopping! It tastes much more medicinal, like root beer or (shudder) Pepsi. It got delivered with pizza, made in Georgia (the country, not the US state), and definitely tastes different.

The rug of reality has been pulled out from beneath my feet of confidence. Isn't the point of brand ubiquity that you can be sure of getting the same thing time and again and it always tasting the same?

Oh, my poor nerves...
