Brighton & Hove Refuse Collectors This Christmas

[Chicken Run]

Will you be tipping the boy and girls this year?

 

[Zebedee]

Yep. A tenner from me.

 

[Dave the OAP]

Why? It is not as if they are badly paid and on the bread line is it?

 

[Giraffe]

No, and most of them are men if not all f them so why the politically correct "boys and girls".

 

[ditchy]

NO i don't have refuse collection and have to put rubbish in a communal bin so nobody to tip really

 

[studio150]

No they are paid to do a job and dont do anuthing that deserves a tip

 

[Butch Willykins]

Absolutely not

 

[Official Old Man]

I will be working as usual today dealing with the public and doing a job for which I get paid. No one will drop me a tenner today so I wont be passing it on.

The recycling wagon normally starts its round outside my front door at 7am sharp which is when I'm in the shower thus ensuring I cannot get the boxes out if I had forgotten them the previous evening.

Funnily enough they did not arrive till 8am yesterday as I was leaving for work. I remarked on this to one of the operatives who smiled as he explained that they leave the last collection before Xmas a bit later so that they bump into a higher percentage of householders on the round. I thanked him for his explanation, smiled, wished him a very merry Xmas and got in my car and drove off.

Back in the days when they went above and beyond to take the bins, any additional bags and whatever from beside/behind your house... yes.

Now, I have to put the bin out on the street for them, can't overfill in, have to move it back into the garden full because they didn't come, go to the tip, etc ... I now expect them to leave me a tenner for the inconvenience they cause.

That's a 'backhander' not a Christmas tip. Fair play tho
