The left hand knows what the right hand is doing I see....

I have given up recycling now,except green waste, until 'they' get their act together. Also it's easier .
The new bags were blown down the road, some other people's bags also were floating in the brook and up against the railings . I put 2 car batteries in the red box-nothing else-and they took one----policy!
But you may put it out next week if I wish,,--(council spokeswoman condescendingly) I forgot to grovel, so she was sharp with me. Who on earth do these people think they are?
Give some people a big hat and they grow into it!
I suppose we are lucky in some ways. In Coventry the bin men inspect the contents first. I watched them last week in Longford when Iwas visiting.
I bet they feel really powerful somebody's.
Last year Iused to leave the binmen a treat every so often-for instance a big box of mince pies at Christmas-tied to the lid with a note, or a big packet of sweets--(usually because I was dieting and they were out of my sight not very altruistic I know) . We had a change of what we call 'leader of the bins' and one man said the are not supposed to take anything from householders. but did hint that if he- the leader- didn't see it they would still accept stuff.
What rot. I'M SURE HE SHARED THE HALF TIN OF QUALITY STREET I LEFT IN JANUARY.
I cant be bothered with this pettiness.

After the lorry came round on Friday, next door phoned up to complain about them coming to a village with no bins. So 24 hours later they bought her a bin. Nobody else got one......

It's getting silly now...

Imagine being an alien from a planet far more advanced than here and observing the way of life on this planet? Imagine being an alien considering moving to another planet and looking at brochures from flar flung galaxies. All the attractive and positive things are portrayed with clear and colourful pictures, then spotting the very small print regarding taxation, public transport, local councils - their services and costs etc then searching on the IGW (Inter Galaxy Web) for local information and finding all the forums regarding these things? In the words of "Mork from Ork" they would likely say... "Nanoo! Nanoo!!"

At the moment I think I'd take my chances with the Probulator....

Latest news- My address has been given to someone who may, or may not, at some point in the future give me a green bin!!!!

(I can't help but wonder why they didn't know I didn't have one in the first place...

)

Just to add insult to injury, the green bin lorry ran me off the road this morning...

(still no green bin though...)

Had he connected with you I think it would be like getting Stagecoach to accept liability even when the evidence is stacked against them..

Is your garden big enough to dig kitchen scraps and garden waste into it? - I only have one bin at the moment and would imagine if we had several for different purposes it would become even more popular with flytippers who already plague us, in fact, a vision of a Pied Piper comes to mind to pipe them away and towards the local rubbish dump - so am assuming the green one is for garden or kitchen waste. Can someone enlighten me on that please?

Green bin is for stuff to go to be made into compost to sell back to us...

He didn't make contact, cos I dived up the verge. If he had, the car would have been a right off, he didn't even lift off the accelerator...
I have dogs, so the burying kitchen waste in the garden thing would be temporary at best... Also foxes and every other dog in the village would join in..
