How do you manage to tip -£5, Stretch? Do you say to your Bin Men, 'Look, three times last year you missed the glass recycling and unless I have actually put my bin out on to the pavement you refuse to collect it. This is a p1sstake because you only have to walk ten strides into my drive to take it. Because of your lack of customer care and laziness I demand you give me £5 or else I'll tell your boss.'
Report mad mad moon December 21, 2010 4:37 PM GMT
Yes Stretch. £10 well spent i reckon.
Report mrbadger December 21, 2010 4:45 PM GMT
Tipping is a terrible practice imo. I pay enough council tax and postage as it is, they can't even close the lids on the wheelie bins when it's raining, and the postie mangles half the stuff because he/she doesn't take enough care when putting items through the letterbox. Bah humbug!
Report Slippy Blue December 21, 2010 4:48 PM GMT
The binmen/recycling lot round my way are very good as is the postman so they'll all get a tenner to put in their kitty when I see them. The local barmaids will get a drink as well.

Postman £5
Milkman £5
Normal Binmen £5 - No problem with their rubbish clearance.

Men on the Recycle Lorry leave the bin where the lorry parks every time they come. Rain or shine, I have to walk up to 50 yards to get my bin back. Coonts will get fack all from me, but my mrs will bung them - against my wishes - guaranteed. Sad

Haven't got a daily paper boy, he couldn't cover these local villages on a bicycle and be in school by 8-40 a.m. If he could, he'd be in the Tour De France winning speed trials.

Local rag comes free every week by van, but I've never once seen who delivers it as he has no set timetable.

It's a normal bin for normal household rubbish. So the men that empty it are the normal binmen ffs!!!.

The other lot are recyling binmen. [smiley:crazy][smiley:crazy]
Report mr winkle December 21, 2010 5:21 PM GMT
And when you think of it, the binmen won't come on to the property in case they hurt themselves.

It's bollocks.

Be in a fine facking state if the postie or the milkman did the same, and left my milk and mail out on the pavement.

Not quite sure what a "refuse collector" is/ a binman i guess?while these boys work hard for minimum wage why on earth would anyone tip them? gone are the days they took matteresses and did you any favours whatsoever.

Postie

Tough job though it is we have about 10 in a year so would be unfair to tip any 1 individual.If i had a rural postie though i'd probs give him a tenner.

No idea what a newspaper person is either,aint seen a paperboy for 20 yrs had no idea they still existed these days?

Used to tip the milkman and he'd have a whiskey too at each house,quite a sight he was by noon on xmas eve.
Report JOMO December 21, 2010 7:20 PM GMT
Postman 4 pack of Hoegaarden
Binmen 15 pack of whatever lager is on offer
Don't get papers delivered.

Tough call on the binmen, as since the switch to a fortnightly collection (now rotates with brown refuge) I should arguably split three ways. Or arguably 3 ways as then there's a weekly collection of the glass/paper boxes. Although since that's the only collection that's weekly, maybe they're entitles to a half share with the binmen and brow binmen (RACIST! REPORTED) getting a quarter share each. However I don't know if it's the same bunch of guys doing two or more of the collections. Since they're all from the same council anyway I'm hoping they pool whatever's given to them for xmas.
Report naydam December 21, 2010 8:13 PM GMT
Stretch. I got the Tesco geezer, good style. When I insisted that he took the £20 and not just half of it, he said" Do you know, I've just been to a proper mansion and they didn't even wish me Merry Christmas". So, quick as a flash I said "No, and I'm not wishing you a Merry f **king Christmas, neither!"
I think he was relieved to see that I was smiling. Laugh Laugh
