Dear Steve White, general refuse manager:

Thank you so much for changing the refuse collection days in Brighton and Hove, it has been utter chaos and great for us.

As I am sure you know, some roads, such as Westbourne Place and Villas, have not had a collection for two weeks.

All that rubbish left on the streets has been a feast for us and our breeding programmes are going great.

I am sure the residents of Brighton and Hove are very grateful to you for this "improvement" - we are anyway.

Keep up the good work and perhaps you can change the day again in a few months.

Yours gratefully,

The rats, mice and seagulls of Brighton and Hove.

PS: Sorry for all the mess on the pavements but we have to get the bags open to get our dinner.

-Marie Lefelle (Mrs), Westbourne Place, Hove
