Ghost, there was a case round here recently where a guy needed a new wheelie bin. The council wanted some ridiculous sum to deliver one - the bin was "free", but he had to pay "delivery". So he bought it on ebay.  Guess what, the council won't empty it as it is not an "official" bin.

Dont know what your worried about!

"OFFICIAL BIN"   council wont empty it IF ITS NOT PUT OUT IN THE RIGHT PLACE !!!!!

 yes my new neighbour put out her bin but the men bypassed it, she rang they said it would cost she said no you can empty it next time. SHE put out bin, they bypassed it!

REASON = binmen said that it was not in correct position? it has to be at the curb end of the driveway and NOT at the curb end of her PATH path is 10 foot away
She wheeled her bin to the end of the path because that was the easiest way to get her bin to the curb side the old resident used to do the same but push the bin to the drive.

surely a wheely bin is a wheely bin no matter where it is purchased from.

Traffic wardens? Do they have little rubber stoppers in their bottoms where you can refill them? If not then I'll stick with my wheelie bins.

Deeply sorry if anyone here is a traffic warden I know you're just doing a job but I %^"££(^&*%$%^£ hate the ^$$"&(*&(*%*$^%£       %&^$£"^%$$    %^*$£%&&^%*£^*£%^£    ^**"&*(^)(*($"    's   >>:-( >>:-( >>:-( >>:-( >>:-( >>:-(

Two years ago at wings and wheels when the A10?? was shut off due to a crash and we spent 3 hours ploughing through the middle of Harlow, only to get to the giant roundabout over said motorway, was 1 car away from freedom to North Weald, and the b***** traffic wombles decided that everyone else was more important and didn't let us through. He was then faced with about 200 VERY unhappy and angry motorists, with me (naturally) right at the front. I was asking all the questions in a rather more polite tone than everyone else, but the ignorant imbecile, who obviously couldn't get a job anywhere else, decided to single me out and threaten to arrest me. Not the 200 odd angry adults, but me, the 14 year old boy.

I would like all traffic wardens who have ever done anything simalar to be in cars all lined up, with the engines running, with the doors welded shut and plexiglass windows fitted, and just left there on a disused runway or something.

Rant over  :angel:

As for salt shakers, I don't know why you would want to befoul your chips in that way O0
