"Occasionally we’ll find a motherlode under a bridge. A stash. But it’s from the pre-Squiggly R days."

Do we dare say it? Are there fewer cans and bottles on the ground around the place? It’s all anecdotal. But I might have a marginally above average number of anecdotes seeing as how I’m obsessed with litter.

So I’m on the lookout for rubbish with Squiggly Rs written on them. They’re money. It’s hard to walk past them. I bagged a €2 coin from a casual trip to the park yesterday but it’s getting rarer.
