I guess councils that don't incinerate all their waste will still need 2 lots of bins though

I've agreed to meet a student who is doing a course in documentary making and is making a film exploring his fear of dogs which stems from a nasty incident he witnessed as a child. He is coming to our training class (with permission) to film Wanda and talk to me about the perception of Staffies, the 'it's not the dog, it's the owner' attitude and to find out more about how a dog can become a 'Good Citizen.' The film is only for his university course so we won't be starring on TV anywhere and in fact if I don't sign a release form it can't even go on YouTube I believe. I've only encountered him through a Facebook appeal but his film sounds genuine - I gather he has already filmed a man who has a deaf Staffie which obviously is much harder to give commands to and people always used to assume it was some terrible out of control dog that wouldn't listen to anyone - now it wears a jacket with something like 'I am deaf' on it and he's the star of their local park. I just hope that the very over excitable yappy dog that comes to our class is on his best behaviour today though......
