Yes, Peter, I cant understand that S.A. has that system and nobody else has. I am fed up with seeing on bottles how they are only redeemable in S.A. Too simple, so it cant be any good good seems to be the moron motto. In Canada, my brother supplements his pension by collecting beer bottles to such an extent that he buys airfares to England with the proceeds, at the same time cleaning up the camp sites and road verges. On one occasion he passed a suburban garden in the early morning absolutely covered with bottles. He went back later in the day, knocked on the door and asked if he could have all the bottles. The bleary-eyed owner thought my brother was mad - said "Go ahead!" My brother collected a whole car-full of empty bottles, went straight down to the recycling centre and collected over $50 for an hour's work!
