ONE of my problems is disposing of private and confidential papers and mail etc. I find shredding long-winded and boring and I cannot have a bonfire in the neighbourhood in which I reside.

I used to live in an area where the local authority provided an incinerator for such material. One simply emptied sacks into an aperture and away went the paper into a furnace. If only our local authority would provide such a facility at Crowndale Road.
