Unused Olympic's medications and food & drink NOT being recycled.

Didn"t realize what u meant

After some investigation I've discovered that the term is years old - just shows how up-to-date I am with modern meeja!

hi Anagram, I didn't invent the word - with you all the way on the annoyance, but if it helps...

- no, I didn't think you, personally, had invented it lizatarbucksauntie!

LizaTarbucksAuntie, I 'm sorry but I can't use the twititon link, have tried to loads of times, but to no avail.seems I need a Twitter account, is that right?

Have had my email to Har/ HARMAN & Tessa Jowell acknowledged so far, but no actual solid reply yet.

Has anyone had any interest from any of the Locoq Committee, Legacy Team or their MP's ?

I can't understand why over 1,000 mattresses are also deemed non recyclable. It just doesn't make sense. As far as I know, hotels etc don't use mattresses once for each guest before ditching them and supplying new ones for new guests, doh!

The more I hear about similar excesses, the more I feel as though I'm living in a parallel universe.

bombismum

Please keep us informed on your replies from Tessa Jowell and Harriet Harman please. Actually up-date us in a while full stop, good points raised.

Nothing from anyone....even Medicare who I contacted yesterday.

Am feeling really defeated

...ahhh! just spoke to Harry from Intercare.

He's asked for all the links and information.
They have a big presentation this afternoon which I guess i why he's been a bit busy!

Hurrah! something might happen a bit more..

Result! - hopefully!

I've e-mailed my local MP and given my thoughts on this,lets hope the necessary charities can make good use of anything they may be offered to stoop this waste of foodstuffs at least,I do think that medicines won't be passed on though thinking it may be correct it may be EEC rules of some sort.

It seems to be OK to send them to Africa - on the face of it that looks like double standards, but someone is benefitting. From what I have heard of the amount of counterfeit/contaminated/diluted drugs on that continent, these surplus ones will be welcomed.

Intercare won't take certain things - controlled drugs for instance - and Movicol, for some reason.

LizaTarbucksAu tie and everyone who had taken time to email their MPs, and also AMs ( Assembly Members ) if living in Wale, thank you for your efforts.

I haven't had any replies to my mails yet, but hope they won't be anguishing in an intrtn's desk instead of going to the top of the MP's In Tray.

Things in the M/net site re this subject, instigated by LizaTarbucksAuntie, are more advanced. There's good news about Camilla firm Kidsape ASKING for beds after ParaGames.

Asking is one thing, but getting them is another

Hope she gets them.

Maybe it's simply a case of '' Too many chiefs ....etc''

Bloody frustrating that wr haven't had anyone from Locog posting on here, maybe they're all away in Rio by now.

. Wonder if they got over there on. '' The Bandwagon. '' ?.

JThat second paragraph should have read '' LAnguishing on an interns .....''

But on second thoughts, '' Anguishing '' is just as good.
