Do bin men deserve a pension ??!

[brokenflipflop]

I like our bin men. It's the neighbours who keep stealing our wheely bin who are on the death list.​

Use a bike chain and chain it to a drain pipe. It's quite posh where I live so we only come into contact with riff raff in the form of occasional burglars and weekly council workers.

 

[MissTillyFlop]

The bin "service" is the only portion of my council tax that I actually use. Been burgled twice, Police were useless. Never had a fire but I know I contribute to firemen putting car fires out and practising pool and driving their engines around the city centre on sunny days "bird" watching and then I pay their pension after just 25 years "work".

I've totted it all up and that's..........£170 to get my bin emptied.

I have a solution to all of your problems!

Move to Switzerland a la Phil ****ing Collins.

Sorted

I AM riff raff.

A street urchin. With really nice shoes. (Thanks Macdonalds!)

Most of the council workers Iv seen/ know, do as little as possible, and find any excuse not to do something.

You and brokenff seem so much fun..............................

I can't believe this thread is still running - why waste so much time over yet another man who thinks three inches is really three feet

Just see what he tell his wife is six inches....

There again she probably laughs at any little thing.

Pay as you go, firefighters then?

Firefighters ? Oh I see. Come to think of it I did see a girl collecting money at a fire station as the firemen were washing cars for charity instead of manning the station. I assumed she would have been the cleaner or cook but she did have a uniform but she did look very large and a bit small and a bit unfit. Surely she wasn't a fireman.

No, she was an arsonist and she's reading this thread...

They take it in turns to be cook and driver. I used to go to see a mate at a local fire station and have a few pints in the private bar, but the driver couldnt have any that shift.

I read that although I don't understand it fully. I'm a bit unconventional, maybe politically incorrect and not lefty enough but to try and pigeon hole me as a Troll just because my opinions and outlook don't fit into the mainstream or norm is a bit below the belt and poor form.

It resides full time exactly where it is...at the end of the drive.

I notice brokenflip and MissTilly have the same surname, could they be related?

I guess that it's lucky the roads are all paid for out of road tax rather than part of the council tax going to local Highways departments.

Oh... wait a minute...

That's a point I already made and it's possibly why he didn't take it - Council worker envy. Maybe if I had pressed the remote to open the door of my double garage and he'd seen my Trek Madone he might have emptied my bin. Or if he has that jealous mindset, he might have kicked my bin over on the driveway.
