How about this tale of my Grandad: in the days of the old metal dustbins he got sick of the bin being blown over and the contents distributed up the garden during a spell of high winds. So he decided to solve the problem by pouring a thick layer of concrete into the bottom of the bin. Well, it didn't get blown over, but it did earn him a stiff telling off from the bin men who nearly got a hernia, trying to lift the darn thing! He had to buy a new bin!
