As you may have noticed from the article on the main HTH site, we look set to be receiving our 3rd wheelie bin from HBC. This time a grey one. They cost a few quid like....

£30-35 quid a pop. Presumably a massive discount must have been brokered on an order of over 40,000 households? We must be talking about a million quids worth of wheelie bins though?

Or was a community interest group set up to 'help facilitate the process'....

"Owton Manor Community Interest Wheelie Bin ordering and distribution services for the voluntary charidddeee sector ltd"?

Perseus, do I detect just the tiniest touch of cynicism?

Three *&%$^% bins !!!!

Considering a lot of people like myself live in small terraced housing ...where do we keep them all !!!

If in the back alley isn't acceptable ...they know what they can do with them.

I suspect that it's only a matter of time before we receive an e-mail from the Red Wheelies Against Racism Society......

For anyone living alone and having the necessary skills, the bins can be easily converted intoa small touring caravan.
A small point, they gave us all the blurb about the bins in the Mail last night but never once mentioned what exactly was to go into them.

I am thinking of setting up a plastic drum band ...come hear the gentle Caribbean influenced rhythms whacked out with the passing aroma of landfill fumes adding to the atmosphere. If we get good, might get a sponsorship deal from you know phew, sorry I mean you know who.

I think you mean 'you know whom'!

mk1 ...you are probably right but is it as poetical ? ...suppose it is if you pair it with fume.
