Today is also Guess The Christmas Bin Collection Day

Discussion in 'General Discussion' started by Purple, Dec 28, 2019.

  1. Guess what - it was today and I missed it.

    Social media fills your life with pointless $hit but can't tell you that your bins are to be collected at 7am on a Saturday for the first time in living history.

    I don't want to know if a Z list celebrity has a tendency to hit people with bedside lamps, I JUST WANT MY BINS EMPTIED AT A RATIONAL TIME, ON A RATIONAL DAY.

    Thank you.

    I just look down the street and see what everybody else is doing. Ie blue or clear bags etc.
    The bloke opposite me gets it right everytime....

    We have a chart, printed and laminated, and on the notice board in the kitchen. Oh the joys of having an organised wife :)

  4. That usually works for us, but there were only a handful out last night, of both colours. Next door put both out - what kind of message is that - the wxxxxr.

  9. With the cost of our council tax they should provide a sedan chair to take my bin to the tip.

    There's only a handful of taxi drivers in Rotherham, well that's not quite correct, there are lots of taxi drivers but not half as many licenses. The asians use the phrase "they all look the same" to their advantage.

  18. I suppose I now have a reason to take the van out, even if its only to Smokey Mountain tip.

    We just have a big hole dug and when it's full it gets covered over and another hole is dug. :)

    Have you not heard of the internet?
    It tells you all of this important information.

    I, for example, looked up that my usual collection is on a Thursday so they will be collecting Saturday morning over Xmas.
    Great, I thought last night, I’ll do it tomorrow then! Doh.

    rudely awakened this morning to the sounds of the the bin men. Had to get up and sort it all out at 06.30!! :rolleyes:
