[Guinness]

Anyone remember when the bin men emptied your bins. They worked in teams, at a run, so that they could be in the pub by dinner time?

The streets were clean, they emptied every single bin and returned it to the place they found it and we didnt have a rat problem!

Then technology came along!!!

"that bin is overflowing we cant take that, next time firmly push the rubbish into your bin"

"that bin is too heavy we cant take that, next time dont push your rubbish in too firmly"

Black bags are stuffed into gate handles, between fence posts or under door knockers. The minute a slight breeze blows, black bags are everywhere. Do the binmen pick them up??? Yeah right...

Last straw for me today, I'm off to complain tomorrow, after all the yada-yada-yada about blue bins.....where does the wife find ours today?? Three doors away!!!!

All they have to do is lift it up, empty it into the wagon and put it down. How the hell do the idiots employed on the bins manage to move the damn blue bin 20 yards away??

Considering that I would have to pay for a replacement if it was lost, I am sodding well outraged at the slapdash, pathetic, overpayed, underworked, nonchalant, jobsworth attitude displayed by the Hyndburn Services Cleansing Technicians (or whatever passes as newspeak nowadays for binmen)
