Re: wheelie bins
Hmm maybe it's a ploy, nick em and then sell em back to us!
Way back in the 60s some friends of ours had a farm up on the Coppice. Very recognisable, you'll probably know the one.
At one time they bought some gravel to cover the farmyard etc (better than walking on mud, helps with the drinage and all that) and then we had a very severe storm, and I mean very.
The rain pelted down and rivers flowed from the Coppice down Avenue Parade, Water Street, Sultan Street, Lodge Street, etc. bringing all the gravel with them.
It finally lodged itself outside the Town Hall from where the council out of the goodness of its heart gathered it all up and sold it back to them!
