So what kept you bin men? (From Warrington Guardian)

So it is the bin mens fault if management tell them not to go on their round?

To all the poor unfortunate people who did not get the bins emptied for a few weeks. It was not the bin mens fault, firstly management took the option not to send them out the decision was made by a Miss Paula Darlington and her staff not the bin men, secondly you were only advised there were collection points available you did not have to take your rubbish there as all side waste was going to be picked up anyway this was just to help people out and we were going out on those days rounds in the open backed vans, in some streets we were sliding all over the place or we had to dig the vans out of the snow, and to those who are complaining and wanting a rebate on their council tax £39 pound a year goes on your refuse collection so 2-3 weeks probably works out about £2 so for the person who complained and said they were going to a small claims court good luck with a pathectic waste of time hope you get laughed out of there. At the end of the day it was freezing cold so rubbish wasnt going to end up rotting it just needed residents to use common sense and put the side waste in good strong bags tied up. Thankyou to all of those who didnt feel the need to slag us off and appreciate the work we did, and to those who did not just put things into perspective people in Haiti are dying or injured, soldiers are being killed overseas.And your bin wasnt emptied!!!!!!!! Not quite as serious really is it.

I understand ur anger over the bins but its not down to the bin men its down to the boss's who say yes or no to them going out,
and they have to look at the bigger picture ie: did they want ther bin wagons slideing all over the place and hitting parked cars or worse, the bin men in warrington due what they can with in the letter of there job but they can not please every one.
