Uggh - the tea&coffee vending machine at work is displaying the following message: SORRY NOT IN USE. WASTE BUCKET FULL. Somehow the thought of a swilling vat of rancid droppings bursting to overflowing inside the machine I drink from 10 times a day is not very nice. And I don't undestand - the thing is connected to the mains. Surely the spillages just go down the drain. Is this some other type of waste bucket - the meta bucket for waste other than liquid. And is there a guy from the vending machine company whose only job it is to empty THE BUCKET? I can hear him now "Those selfish bastards - they've been putting lard down the vending machine again!"
