Can anybody smell this big fat rat in the UK?

Question

Not to long ago there was some talk on the news that people would be charged extra to clear more than one dustbin load of rubbish, where I live you must use bins provided by the council.

About 10 weeks ago the dustbin men accidently dropped my bin into the council van and destroyed it, and they promptly ordered me a new bin.

A few weeks ago the new and HALF size bin came, I asked the council why is my bin so small and can I have a regular size bin, they replied this is now the standard size all new street bins will be this size.

This new half size bin has never, not once been able to hold the weeks supply of rubbish

My friends say my bin looks really cute, but I think you will soon be getting a smaller bin, and thats a fact if you live in my borough.

Yes I know smaller bins will make us recycle more, thats the upside, my problem is with the sneaky way they are doing it, what do you think, do you smell this rat-trick

Answer 1

Wheely?

Answer 2

sneaky buggers

Answer 3

ur being conned!

aw........come on???????

Answer 4

You need to eat half as much.

Answer 5

It must be a Labour Council, or to be truthful any. They destroyed your bin and like us, the general Joe they have insurance. DEMAND a bin like for like and make the W@nkers PAY! We seem to do the dirty work for them, i.e recycling etc. and a lot more if you look in to it, demand the same size of bin that was destroyed and you will get it. They have NO B@LLS that's why our country is going down the swany! All the best Brother and take care.

Answer 6

**** man. thats terrible. simply awful. reminds me of my spell in dachau. yeah, there were really small bins there too. it was an outrage.

Answer 7

Yes,yes!....I thought it was only me who could smell this big rat.

The same thing happened to my large bin. I was told the cover had broke????

Weeks later, I got a small one in return.

They do it in a sneaky way because they knew that no way would we have willingly given up best for worst.

Answer 8

Don't they make you sick? It really riles me when something like this happens, they KNOW full bloody well that you need a full size bin for your weekly rubbish so they give a half size one just when they're going to start charging you for it!!! Disgusting - i'd go out and buy a full size bin from B&Q or somwhere like that and put the half size one in your garden and grow potatoes in it, once they start charging us for this, that, the other plus the air we breathe thats all you'll be able to afford to eat!!! Thanks for the warning by the way.

Answer 9

Why not protest and dump everything you can't fit in your new bin  at the town hall !!! Their way......the sneaky way...........at night!
