Wow..a council that engages with the oiks over the internet, albeit without telling (an alleged)95% of their electorate....
oh wait..only on their terms, where they control the feedback to only show the positives and backslaps, like a certain MP's facebook, hyndburn labours twitter or a certain ex high profile (well he was when after votes) 'village' blog....
Smartarse alert..already printed mine off cos I follow HBC on twitter.. (i'm hip with the bro's dontcha know) ..and because I've previously fallen foul of the jobsworth numpties that pass as civic reclamation officers, waste management operatives, collectors of unwanted materials, recycling technicians, (or whatever they call binmen nowadays)...sucking in their breath, shaking their heads whilst sticking a warning on my bin, whilst I'm out earning a living to pay their bloody wages, because the lid didn't fully close (by about 2 inches and they left it unemptied of course)
I'm luckier than some I guess..I'm mobile and can do a tip run every now and again, done one this week with Christmas stuff (can't fault the guys at Whinney Hill, always there to give you a hand and point you to the correct skip..hats off guys)...but for those out there without transport, internet or smartphone...
