We have a sign up thanking our bin men and this week when they were collecting my 2.5yr old son stood at the window and waved, as did another small child on our street. Not only did the bin men ignore my son (they looked straight at him, so didn?t just overlook him) they thought it appropriate to give each other the middle finger as they went about their work. I appreciate they are working in difficult circumstances but I don?t think there?s any justification for that sort of behaviour.
