My missus' brother-in-law is a Leeds binman. He said the main reason they've voted in favour of the deal now is because most binmen have a clause in their contract stating that, after 12 weeks of consistent strike action, the contract can be terminated.

Not sure how true that is, or how it would actually work in practice (contravenes Employment Law surely?), but there you go.

Seeing as my house collectively own 4 cars, do we get even more dispensation?

The more cars the better!

A perfect world is one with no buses

And what would you do for someone that say, lives on their own and suffers from epilepsy and therefore is unable to drive a motor vehicle for obvious reasons ?

It was interesting to see where the bin men held most of their meetings about the strike .... Gone have the days of having a mass meeting in the Queens Hall (deceased) .... These days they're held in the Jongleurs Comedy Club !
