3 part lists revisited again!


Today Mendip District Council only collect our recycling boxes, but NOT our green wheelie bins - see the late great Gail Jefferson, above, on 3 part lists (and at http://maxatkinson.blogspot.co.uk/2008/11/why-so-many-lists-of-three-mystery.html).

Who'd have thought any local authority smart enough to know about Gail and the power of three part lists?!

Not to mention a pub at Lulworth Cove in Dorset which has a welcoming three part list on its wall that reads:

SLEEPING 
EATING 
DRINKING!!!
