    The lesser spotted bin man

    I've just seen one! Several in fact!

    All those times in the last couple of weeks where it wasn't "safe" for them to come and collect the rubbish because of the snow and ice in my road, yet today it seems they've suddenly realised that a big refuse lorry isn't that affected by a small amount of snow.

    Next we'll be hearing about teachers being able to make it to work.
    Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

    Mrs MM's school is the only one in Hounslow that hasn't had any snow days. She's quite pissed off...

      Still waiting for ours - haven't had the recycling collected for six weeks. On the plus side, today is the first day both the kids' schools have been open!

        Come to think about it, the council are probably only collecting the rubbish because they've run out of salt and have nothing else to do.

          No problems here, they come about 4 times a bloody week and at about 7am which means they wake me up with all their racket. At least I don't have to take the bins out, the hausmeister does that for us
          Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

              No bins emptied for two weeks,
              Schools closed,
              Too icy for council workers to go out
              No council worker sto driver the grit lorries
              Traffic wardens issued with 4x4s so that they can issued parking tickets.

                Here in Wandsworth, South London - everything running as normal.
                Roads gritted, schools open from what I can see, bin men regular as clockwork.
                And we have the lowest council tax in the country


                And the trains/tubes have been fine too.

                You lazy fookin northeners.
                Hard Brexit now!

                    Council can't help that.
                    I think they've been brilliant
