In view of recent complaints about the quality of posts, here is a truly rubbish one.
Our local council has a fortnightly kerbside collection for recycling glass, tins and newspapers. You know the kind of thing where you put out the stuff in different bags and boxes. Now, I don't mind doing this, as it is about my only contribution to saving the planet.
What I object to is the mess left by the lorry crew who do the collection. I leave the street and all the boxes and bags are neatly placed by the kerb ready for collection; when I come back an hour later the street is like a midden. There is broken glass in the road, windblown paper and cardboard all over the place, the recycling containers are nowhere near the house they came from, they are in the middle of the road or miles away outside someone elses house. I know it is not a particularly nice job but they could at least take some pride in it.
Now that is a rubbish thread. Genuine replies only please.. no time wasters.
