Lovely title for the thread - much better than dustmen. There's a kind of ring to being an Edinburgh Bucketman. There should be a ballad about it. - Tubs???

An extinct species Baz. When Golach and I were kids they used to have these guys with trollies who swept the streets and alleys and kept them clean. Now instead they have 'operatives' in fluorescent jackets who work in teams from a big truck.

I mind the streets were a lot cleaner,
