Act of Nature.
If it was an act of god, you can sue the Churches!

thats been tried Dave and didn't get anywhere as first you have to prove god exists

i think you'll find the official phrase is act of god whether you like it or not

act of metro

Well I've got a full bin and two bags to go as well cos they've not been for ages. People are obviously going to have more rubbish early in the New Year and I understand about the snow and ice but I'm sure the big waggons are as easy to move around as the smaller ones.

Not sure I understand the logic to be honest. I'm not emptying my bin to take it to the tip unless I get some money back off my council tax the robbing sods

If they are anything like round here they left all the bin bags just emptied the bins.

Cumbrian binmen must be made of sterner stuff because we haven't missed a collection

they came today at quarter to eight picked up the two bin bags,then came again two hours later for the black bins but never came for the papers or the brown bins, they are a council out of work,the words booze up and brewery spring to mind

Day 13.. Still sticking to your new year resolution. i tip my hat to you sir,you are definatley a man of your word.

Let me explain my colleague in the smaller collection vehicle (after carrying out risk assesments and creating method statements) reported that the queens highway around firs park area was now safe to navigate in the bigger collection vehicle. Upon reciept of this news we finished our game of cards,ate breakfast,finished the crossword and dashed round to provide the quality service to which you are accustomed.I saw you

in your red turkish bandana

Other way around here... taken the bigs but no bins. Bloody joke, how can it be harder to drive the bigger waggon and any less dangerous for the guys collecting the bags?

What do they do in countries like Canada and Russia? Lets face it the snow over there is ten times as bad over there

Well they haven't emptied any bins or taken any bags and no excuses re the snow and ice for any wagons or vans as the St. Helens road area is clear! So what's the reason for nothing being collected??

finished the crossword eh it must have been the sun one .any other would take a modicum of intelligence
which you would be sadly lacking
