I imagine it was all a joke until some muppet placed an order

DIY places also usually take old batteries, small electricals and lightbulbs including florescent tubes. Our B&Q does, at least.

How about a leylandii? They'll get to 2-3 metres nice and quickly

and they say the expect more victims to come forward, too. Terrible.

All ready for y0u to apply your own bodges now, nice work.
