FURTHER to recent letters regarding maggots in bins, we have just spent two weeks in a very pleasant town in Southern France where there are no black/green/blue/brown bins to leave out when instructed.

Just leave all your daily rubbish, in a bag outside your front door each night and it’s gone in the morning No fuss; no threat of fines if the bin is the wrong colour in the wrong place/put out on the wrong day; just a first class public service! Any fellow Brits feel conned?
