A snippet from a BBC article on Sheffield’s £2 billion PFI funded road improvement program proving that you can buy what the hell you like when spending other people’s money :

Trees and kerbs will also be improved and a further 1,000 litter bins are planned for the city.

Some of the bins are designed to send a message to council workers when they need emptying, while other bins thank people for putting rubbish in them.

I have no problem with the first part as overflowing bins are a regular enough sight to show the people will actually use the things (albeit with £80 fines in place and if you can actually find one) but the second part (in bold) … well … Fuck. Me. Pink!
