Thank you for finding lost watch during shop

Some of the UK’s most impressive classic cars were in the Strath at the weekend.

Fifteen Rolls Royce Silver Ghosts built between 1907 and 1921, driven by a group of classic Rolls Royce enthusiasts, arrived in the area following their re-enactment of the 1911 London to Edinburgh Rally.

They were joined by a further eight classic

Rolls Royce cars with locals getting a chance to admire the vintage vehicles when they were on show at Drummond Castle and Crieff Hydro.

I would like to express a very sincere thank you to the honest person who found my gold-coloured watch in Crieff’s Aldi on the morning of Wednesday, September 15, and handed it in to a member of staff.

About 30 minutes after leaving the store I realised my watch was missing so was delighted to be reunited with it when I returned to Aldi after having been dealt with efficiently and quickly by three members of staff.

Today, more than two million children will eat

Mary’s Meals in some of the world’s poorest countries every school day.

Providing a daily meal in a place of education is helping even the most vulnerable children to attend school and concentrate in lessons, giving them the freedom to learn and fulfil their potential.

Mary’s Meals began in

2002, by feeding 200 children in Malawi. Our growth since then has been driven by so many acts of kindness from people from all walks of life, helping us reach children in the greatest need.

We are deeply grateful to all our supporters and volunteers, including in Perthshire – we simply could not have reached this incredible milestone without you.

We hope your readers will join us in celebrating this amazing moment for Mary’s Meals and continue to support us to reach the next hungry child.

Daniel Adams, Executive director, Mary’s Meals

Can someone explain to me this?

I put my blue bin out a fortnight ago to be emptied but to my dismay I came home to find a red label on my bin and it not emptied.

So I get on the phone to recycling to ask why. They tell me it is because a carrier bag was on top of my recycling items.

My argument is they ask for bins to be out for 7.30am, so what is to say that someone going past put a bag in my bin?

You cannot be expected to watch your bin all the time.

[It is] annoying as they [waste lorries]are so unpredictable when they come.

I also cannot understand why they don’t take carrier bags, as Co-op bags are degradable plus you get some carrier bags that say they can be recycled.

Surely they could have put the offending bag into the green bin?

They may say the bag may be contaminated and they cannot touch it but surely they will be supplied with gloves?

Also they say not to lift the household bin if the lid is not closed properly but they do empty the bins.

I think it’s time the employees on refuse collections abide by the rules.
