Call me paranoid but I don't give used hard drives, I take them apart, and dispose of them in the local metal recycling bins.
Reconstructing them is beyond the means of most people, sure if the spooks want to get the data off they will but if the spooks are interested in what I'm doing then I've got bigger problems!

If you ever need an organisation that's a waste of our tax money, Becta is a fine example.

"Tend to want proof of these figures. Surely after all this time most houses are insulated as much as they reasonably can be. After all, at one time one could get grants for loft and cavity wall insulation. A quarter of ALL the UK's carbon emissions? I'd be skeptical."
I've recently bought a Victorian cottage and it has no insulation in the roof...
It's also got now felt under the tiles, so as that needs fixing we're going to add insulation too - currently we're sleeping under two duvets!
