  8. They introduced wheelie bins and fortnightly collections here about eighteen months ago, but when they sent out the bins they left out my house, because apparently there had been some cock-up with my post code (though the council tax bills didn't have any trouble finding me). I tried to ring in to report the non-delivery of my set of bins but our district council operates like a secret society. They don't give out phone numbers or return calls, rarely answer e-mails and getting past reception is almost impossible. You either have to write to them and wait six weeks for a reply or you sacrifice half a day and go round to the housing/council tax office and brave a swarm of mewling infants to queue up in with a lot of fat people in track suits. The best I could do was leave a message at reception and wait. It took a month to get the bins and then they sent two sets. In the meantime the bin men wouldn't take my black bags (health and safety reasons I was told, hidden sharps etc) so every week I took them to the council offices and left them in the car park.

  11. Yeah yeah; your greatest hero Braveheart never made it past York before he was captured and hung, drawn and quartered. We've got more to fear from the Isle of Wight...

  15. still got weekly collection but wouldn't be suprised at fortnightly collection
    although our garden recycling wheelie bins don't get emptied
    unless we pay extra £25 on top of our council tax

  16. Paint a number ( not yours) on the bin and then complain that the bin men have left the wrong bin at your house and you want it replaced, it works.
