Council departments are like little olitical parties they hate each other and trust them as far as they can throw them.

well said churchman , i also like how HBC now call us customers yet dont provide customer satisfaction although i did get a phone call once asking me to answer a few questions about how i found their services

that was a very long phonecall indeed i doubt they will ring me again

It just makes me wonder why people can be so awkward. What you are doing is costing money that could be used to improve the service.

Who's being awkward?? It's down to those who collect the refuse to do so at the time they are supposed to. I am doing as I have been told so why should I disrupt my routine? BTW on one occasion it was before 7.15 when they turned up 'cos my daughter (who's six) woke me up to tell me.
What happened to the customer always being right? As I pay for the service via council tax I am a customer (and I pay full whack as I work for a living). Would you pay a garage for a service if they said "Certainly sir, bring your car in at 6am" even if it didn't suit your routine??

ps Neil. In reply to your earlier post of putting out the box after they've been, if I put my box out at 7.25 and they aren't in sight just how am i supposed to know if they've been or not??!!!

2. Will they put the empty bin back on my property and not in front of my next-door neighbour's or across the road?
3. Will they put the black sack that's been placed on top of the full bin into the lorry instead of throwing it on to the pavement?
4. Will the bin-lorry pull in to the side of the road instead of stopping in the middle for 10 minutes and preventing any traffic from passing?
5. Will your bin-men stop making sure that the top 6" of any full bin are spilled into the road, especially if they are particularly squishy and smelly?

If you can answer "yes" to all these questions you can be my Dictator.

I think it is fair to say that one way or another a dictatorship with myself as dictator could assure that those points/questions would be addressed/answered in the affirmative!

Vote Bad-Wolf...... sensible policies for a happier Britain!
