Couple Funds Honeymoon With Recyclables
John and Ann Till, from Petersfield, in Hampshire, spent three months collecting recyclables to pay for their honeymoon flights. The couple earned one reward point, which they converted into BA air miles, for every four items they recycled. In the end, they amassed 36,000 miles. Mr Till, 31, a railways communications manager, said, "We wanted to make our honeymoon special and were trying to think of ways to raise money for it. I saw on the machine that you got a Tesco Clubcard point for every four items you put in. For every 250 points you got 600 British Airways miles. We worked out that it would be possible to turn rubbish into our flights — as long as we had enough."
Hang on, this is an Idle story that appears on the front page, right? Gotcha, this'll only take a few seconds...
Waaah waaah waaah! There's an Idle story on the front page! I don't know how to turn off story groups in my settings! Change it now so I don't see them! Waaah waaah waaah!
Bitch bitch bitch! It shows up in my RSS feed! Every Idle story there fouls the immaculate sanctity of Slashdot and eats my soul! Bitch bitch bitch!
Cry cry cry! I've been on Slashdot for ten years, so it should be exactly the same site I came to ten years ago and you should all listen to meeeeeeeee! I don't ever need to deal with change! Now I'm going to go off to another thread and say how the RIAA and MPAA should either change their business model or die! I don't need to change! Cry cry cry!
There, that should about cover it. Carry on!
