Local Counciiler.

Chuckled today with our ward member in the pub, with all the text messages he kept getting. " Why are all the Wiggin roads snowfree and all the roads in Leigh have not been gritted", " Branches keep falling on my car in the driveway ", " My car wont budge in all this snow". How he had time to sup his pint i dont know.

Really since when?

 

I've been there 6 years and it's always ben well below inflation.

 

And last times council tax in bolton didn't rise, the suppliment for Micky's snooker table did though.

 

 

Frank, did you ask why the grit van can come down but not one to pick up the bin bags?

Frank, did you ask why the grit van can come down but not one to pick up the bin bags?

Or why the recycing van can, but not the same sized vehicle for black bins ?

Did i fuck.

 

My rubbish hasn't being collected because of the snow same as pretty much every other fucker in the country.

 

however i've accepted it as a case of shit happens and got on with my life.

 

theres more important things going on than my bins being full, and if the bins are really the main thing on your list of things that are wrong then bully for you.

 

Rant over

Well excuse me for being a tad pissed off due to paying for a service, not getting it, being expected to do it myself oh, & lastly not wanting to live with full bin bags all over the place! Clearly, Ziggy, mself & I'd expect many others have nothing else to worry about. :blink:

You didn't really expect any other kind of response from a council employee did you?

just had another look and theres actually a collection point round the corner

 

well done, bolton council

 

now all i have to do is find somebody who aint at work between 8 and 12

 

 

ps our roads are snow free so why they can't come and fcuking collect, fcuk knows

Well, I'm not busy. I could hire a low loader, drive round estates, do it for the lazy fuckers* & charge it back to the council. Do you think they'd go for this idea?

 

edit:

*By lazy fuckers, I'm referring for those paid to do it, not the householders who really shouldn't be expected to do it themselves.

my bins got done last week first in my street then thay fucked off ha ha been today to but my recicle things have not been done since before xmas :angry:

That same Fire Service who never once, during the snowy period, said to any 'customer', "Sorry, it snowed, we can't come out!"

 

We don't pick and choose which jobs to go to. If someone wants us, we'll go. If we can't get to the property, we'll get out and run!

 

The bin men, on the other hand, go or don't go. They're not arsed. They won't be giving us a Council Tax rebate for the missed collections though. 6 up to now if you include the ones missed due to the re-organised rounds!

100% Correct!!Same with other Emergency services such as Ambulances.Health and Safety my arse.Our road is clear now apart from the pavement so the lazy fcukers had better come and empty them tomorrow.I can see my gaffers face "Sorry chief but i'll be in late tomorrow coz i'm going emptying my own bins",the bone idle lazy malingering work shy fcukers!

Ours haven't been emptied since the week before Christmas, they came to the main road near us between Christmas and New Year and I asked if I drag my wheelie bin to the main road would they empty it, one of them said [with a smirk] "nah mate, we'll have gone before you get back with it" I really wanted to punch his fuckin lights out, cnut. :angry:

Lazy wiganese tw@ts

Send the kids out and make them earn their keep.

She's right you know Cas. Maybe they won't mind setting off to school with a sack of shite on their backs! If you get yours to do it I'll have a word with my two and get them on the job too. In fact, they could collect the neighbour's shit too!

When the roads were bad it made sense not to send bin wagons round- they're fookin heavy,usually automatic, meaning can't be slowed using gears, increasing skid risks; and they don't want to risk paying out shit loads of compo.

 

As a 'fellow council employee' however I do believe that a large number of the binners (not all) are wankers of the highest calibre. Workshy, militant fucktards.

Once gave a day's pay up to strike in "sympathy"- what did they do- came in on the following Saturday for time and a half plus bonuses to make up lost day. Thanks- CUNTS.

I can only presume Frank went in this morning, all guns blazing as the bin men have been down here & picked every single scrap of shite up! Cheers Frank!

I can now relax. :D

Can Frank now go to the Wiggin binmen and wake the fuckers up, ours are overflowing,

Er, why does automatic mean can't be slowed using gears? Fire Engines are automatic and certainly can. Maybe it's the level of driver training rather than the vehicle gear boxes which needs attention.
