Going by the dirt line beside it, this Civic has been sat there for a while 

Incredibly, this Civic is still sat there, hasn’t moved since last  spotted

This Corsa has been sat in the car park of my local Sainsbury’s for quite a while, MOT expired in March 2021, potentially one owner too going by the DVLA info 

High-mileage 1.3 CDTi and a list of MOT PHAILS means it doesn’t look too promising for this one.

Been there about ten years,

replaced a mark 1 Disastra, that in turn had been there for years.

Clio hasn't moved in ages

If this is the car I think it is, then I pulled a muscle in my neck trying to quickly turn around to look at it.

[Crackers]

This R33 on my way to work hasn't moved in the 2.5 years I've lived here. Street view suggests it's probably not moved since 2016. 

[bunglebus]

Damaged S500 with failed air suspension in Tesco's car park, with a note saying it's broken down and will be moved soon.

How long will it stay here? PRACE BETS NOWWWW!

[bunglebus]

This looked pretty good a few years ago

[bunglebus]

Been sat here quite a long time now

It does look like the Kingswinford house with the mk2 Astra, if that's the one you're thinking of?

That’s the one! I know they cleared quite a few of them away a few years ago so not really sure what it looks like now.

the guy had many old School Fords years ago in various states of repair

This Roller is in Kirkton, Dundee. Rough area. The playpark was on fire.

Southend area never fails to disappoint. Wonder what's in the large garage behind?

I've been meaning to get this extra-green Disco for a while

Dumped or just resting? Life moves a bit slower here it seems

[Dick Cheeseburger]

This sad old Moggie was immaculate when the owner of our local Dominos started using it for advertising and local deliveries in 2008.

A lad I know who used to maintain it for the owner mentioned just how clean it was underneath. However, within a few years it needed some basic remedial work and the owner decided to park it up rather than get it fixed. 

Fast forward twelve years and this is how the old girl looks now.

The car is absolutely rotten. The floors are hanging out, the nearside front suspension has collapsed and it looks as though it would snap if it was hiabed away. I honestly don't understand why anyone would let such a decent little car slowly dissolve in plain sight. Even the local rag latched onto its plight a few years back and the repsonse from the owner was 'our much loved Morris Minor is taking a rest currently'. Barmy. 

[MantaGTE85]

This Minor had just 10,512 miles at its last MOT test in April 2011. Great shame.😢 

[Dick Cheeseburger]

It was our local rag - the Cornish Guardian - which reported on it a few years back. Even Birmingham Mail picked up on it at the time! The car still looked relatively together at that point.

I managed to find the official line from Dominos on it from six years ago, too.

No, it didn’t 🤣

[Split_Pin]

What a shame about that Minor

[Dick Cheeseburger]

It irked me for years as it was salvageable for a fair time. It's on a main route and I drive past it daily. The car's reached the point now though that I look at it and wonder how long it'll be before it's unceremoniously lifted away and fast tracked to the local scrappy.

Wait 10 years for eBay "barn find"

Did a google for a random UK council website and took this from Selwyn Borough Council:

If your bin was not collected, a tag should have been attached to it explaining why.

The kerbside trucks collect thousands of bins each day but sometimes mistakes happen and the driver may have accidentally missed your bin.

Before reporting your missed bin, check below for some other possible reasons your bin may not have been collected:

The lid was not shut flat or the bins were overflowing.

The bin was contaminated (e.g. non recyclable items in the recycling bin or plastic in the organics bin) or contained liquid or hazardous waste. There is a sticker on the underside of your bin lid advising what can and can't go into your bin. If you do not have one of these stickers and would like one posted out to you please contact us.

The bins were not registered to your property.

The bin was put out on the wrong week for recycling.

The bin or bag was too heavy. Large rubbish bins, recycling bins and organic bins (240 litre) have a weight restriction of 60kg. Small rubbish bins (80 litre) have a weight restriction of 30kg. Council rubbish bags have a weight restriction of 12kg.

The bin or bag was not put out on time. Bins and bags need to be presented by 6.30am on the day of collection - we recommend putting your bins or bag out the night before.

The bin was not correctly presented at the kerbside. Please ensure that the bins are placed at least 50cm apart and away from obstructions such as trees and letterboxes. The Council logo on the front of the bin is to face the road.

If you have checked the above list and none of these apply, your bin may have been missed so please contact us. When you call please provide the serial number on the side of the bin.

TL:DR and I don't blame you.

If Bill Maynard collected my bins I'd be more careful about what I put in them to be fair.
