Isn't it great when you know that your collection is at the same time week in, week out? Ours is about 11am to 11.30 with the cardboard van coming about half an hour after. Obviously knowing this you get into a routine. Ours was to get one of the lads to do it just as they left for school!
Imagine my thoughts when just before eight this morning the cardboard van was coming down the street!! Managed to collar the chap who was on foot to say 'won't be minute' and gave him our load. Having a chat to say 'You're early' he went on to explain that they were trying some new routes. 'The stuff is supposed to be out at 7.30 anyway' he said. I replied that I knew this but people are now in a routine (like us) and he said that was probably why there wasn't much about!!
Why couldn't they have put something in the press or posted a flyer through last time to warn people??
Anyway folks - for the next two weeks get your stuff out at 7.30 'cos you may be missed!!
