Its so exciting...
« on: 03 January 2011, 18:37:39 »
...I'm getting my rather rubbish bin emptied for the first time since 7th December tomorrow.

Such a little thing will make me so happy.

Hope people don't think I'm a Human Sleeping Tablet!

Nope, they claim they won't, as I've had a long chat with the director of the local council...

No, they have said they won't clear up the inevitable mess caused by living on the edge of town and having rubbish piled up for a month. Still, its kept the foxes nice and fat, so the dogs can chase them down quicker...   :-X

They've been pretty good round my way - didn't miss a beat this year, and last Friday when they came to collect the recycling bin (usual day is a Thursday, the b/hol bumped it a day) and I'd forgotten to put the bin outnot woken up in time to put the bin out, they even came to my door to collect - and then return - the bin..

The plan our council have if collection falls on a bank holiday, or they miss it due to weather, is to bury head in the sand, and hope nobody notices. Morons.  Then they have the nerve to suggest that this is normal practice across virtually all councils across England. Retarded, bullshitting morons.

Tell us how you really feel ;)

Oh and I did forget to mention - my green (non-recycling) bin (ok, one of them, and you are only supposed to have one .. but they're firkin tiny!) did go missing right before Christmas .. either nicked or stuck to the back of a wagon, I suppose.

So it's not all perfect ;)

No problem with that for me, council just make collections on bank holidays.  Guess it saves mucking the collection rounds up.

So, at least one council that doesn't conform to the above statement  ;D.

And thats just the binmen.
When ours were off the road due to the snow they refused to go out and fling grit about because they haven't been shown how to use a SHOVEL :o :o
These F****'* are getting £26k plus a year for hooking a bin on a lorry. >:(
