Got new fridge freezer, managed to put my other one outside my front door.
Went online to book bulky waste collection (normally they will pick up on none recycle days (mine was yesterday so missed it)

The next slot is...... 15th September! I thought that can't be right its over 6 weeks away. So I rang up and yes that is the nearest collection date. It's not in my way but looks unsightly for my neighbours.

I agree Claremont there is Never an excuse for fly tipping it’s a real disgrace

Let me put this scenario to you.
My young friend has 3 children. On is a severely disabled autistic.
One day the autistic son decided to smash his bedroom to firewood, together with urinating on his mattress.
Because of cramped conditions the only place for the rubbish to go was outside the house.
Then there’s the next problem: they have no transport and aren’t flush with money.
Too many people on here live in La La land where the other's
concerned.

I see red every time I see a woman near me with her leaf blower blowing all the rubbish from her garden out into the road. I pointed out to her she was fly tipping and she said 'Don't be ridiculous, it's just some leaves'

Blocking the drains, stupid woman.

A leaf blower is the most pointless of garden tools. I fail to see the point of them.

I have one.
Given to me as a present in good faith.
5 years later, it is still in it's box.
