[QUOTE=Less;1268334]I only ask because last Friday my brown bin came back with no lid.







Of course none of this would matter if the bins weren't so cheap and flimsy and were fit for the task of being lifted by the bin wagon in the first place!

How would they have gone on before the bins were lifted automatically, the bin men that I remember years ago had to physically lift "metal" bins, often full of the ash from coal fires that weighed more empty than these flimsy modern bins weigh when they are full but then again nothing "really" Suprises me nowadays, when this generation wants money without having to use a bit of breaches a--se steam and an ounce or two of elbow grease. Rant over, time for another pint. After leaving school at fifteen without any qualifications and then retiring at sixty-five after doing whatever job it took to bring up my family I think that it is about time that these "Hard done" youngsters were given a lesson on what the word "work" means.

Oh, I now feel much better.
