No chance for bin men, twice i've not put my bin at the end of the drive, just 10 foot up my drive and they won't walk up and get it, but when i get home when they've emptied the bins i usually have to walk 3/4 doors down and get it, was thinking about putting a complaint into the council, cos that's what would happen to me if i didn't do my job correctly. rant over

I know quite a few bin people, they come back with all sorts of swag at Christmas, alcohol food money!

Binmen can go jump (or mine can at least) they insist on piling about five houses worth of bins across my drive every week.

I tipped my window cleaner today actually, he's a lovely chap and always has time for a chat with me or the kids, charges £14 for my house (a bargain as far as I'm concerned, one of my least favourite jobs if I ever have to do it myself!)

I have two regular posties, both brilliant (main one is also a cyclist and it's not unknown for him to stop for a natter) they'll be getting a little something if I can catch them this week (they're flat out by the look of things)

Came here expecting a thread about pushing posties and binpeople over like tipping cows.

Still though, I have no idea who my postie is. Changes every other week and random times of the day. Majority of my post isn't from them anyway. Junk flyers and packages from random delivery people mostly.

Bins, meh.
