cobblers Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Since we moved house in October, our bins have been taken maybe 7 or 8 times. It's either covid, industrial action, snow or "no reason". I've just about given up bothering. Bottles go in the bottle bank at the pub next door, and I chuck the (tiny) wheelie bin in the back of the pickup every couple of weeks and tip the contents into the biffa bin at work. myglaren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me and my mates stopped at a Walmart somewhere in buttfuck nowhere to pick up some spray cleaner and lots of paper towels, as the hire cars' wipers just wouldn't shift the increasing amounts of very large insects peppering the front of them. I noticed a lot of locals running around with the plastic bug deflectors on the front of their vehicles. PhilA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend of mine used to work at a place just off the M18, and their work carpark would often get used by lorries to park overnight. They have two big biffa bins, one for cardboard and the other general waste - generally kept inside but they were really crammed with deliveries one week so they got left outside. A few weeks later they got an email from the waste company surcharging them £35(ish?) because the cardboard waste was contaminated, and they sent some pictures to prove - a half full cardboard bin had a bag of macds waste and some beer cans on top, presumably a couple of lorry drivers chucked bags of rubbish in the cardboard bin. He sent them back CCTV videos of every waste collection for 6 months prior, showing every week both bins are collected at the same time and tipped into the same bloody truck! myglaren, High Jetter, Fumbler and 7 others 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purplebargeken Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 The nhs training dept are adamant that I must drive 2 x 400 miles to participate in two lots of classroom training that are for staff who have face to face patient contact, moving and handling patients and some physical intervention bollocks. I dont have face to face contact with patients, its all done over the phone. It is utterly bonkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I think about this I will keep to myself. But I was very surprised and disappointed that no one here bought the car so well liked it was. The idea to buy it was in my head when no one here wanted it but it would unfortunately be difficult and expensive since I live in Norway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I'm kidding check up. Our council did publish figures of how profitable the recycling was. Certainly worth doing. I only put a bin out every couple of months. Live alone and very little waste except I cut a pallet up a bit back and buried it in a bin. Another time, a pair of tall steps that fell to bits. Woodworm. They never seem to look at what the contents are. Possibly due to the bribe... er, Christmas present they get from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically a way of thwarting distance selling regulations because its all of a sudden not a distance sale if the customer picks it up.

Worth keeping one of them in the tool drawer just in case...I do! I still don't trust wire nuts for all they're everywhere in the US! My grump is that my daily appears to have out of the blue started using something like a litre of oil every 200 miles without it apparently going anywhere...And I can't get the camper MOTed until the middle of next month.
