A Reintroduction of Beer Mats
17/02/26 23:38 Filed in: Liverpool
I was looking at some old gig tickets the other day and then adding some dates from them of gigs I’ve been to—way back when—into the Concert Archive app. They were all in tins on the top of shelves in the kitchen. When I opened one box though it contained old beer mats I’ve picked up over the years. But it’s not like I was a collector, and there weren’t that many really. I was never going to do anything with them; maybe I should have. At one point last week I was simply going to throw them out.
But hey, the environmental ethos is: Reduce-Reuse-Recycle, isn’t it? And so rather than just throw them out into the Blue bin for recycling I decided reuse comes first (well, second). So I had the idea of taking them out one by one and using in a pub and leaving them there.
And so for the last few day that’s what I’ve been doing. Anyone spot a Belgian, German, or Hungarian beer mat out in the wilds around Liverpool? Well it was the environmentally friendly thing for me to do. Who knows, a ticker may want to collect them more than my bin man, in any case there is a general shortage of beer mats around at the moment (maybe because they’re all in random kitchen tins) so me randomly setting them free is a good thing all around. Fly to freedom my once forgotten babies. Good luck out there!
