I'm spitting feathers here.

Went out to bring the wheely bin in and it hasn't been emptied. Thats two weeks worth of minging (adj.) old all sorts and another 2 weeks to wait. In this weather as well.

What the dickens do I pay council tax for.

Does this happen to anyone else?

Phone the Council-thought you lived in the middle of nowhere so how've you got a wheelie? :)

Threaten to dump it on the council offices step is one solution.

It does'nt work but makes you feel a whole lot better.us

Mine's two weekly & they havent missed me yet-guess I'm semi-urban.
Still 'phone the Council & then try Environmental Health-if that doesn't work contact your local paper/radio station. :)
