I don't know if I'm being unreasonable but I'm getting really fed up with Southwark doing the bin collection on our road usually just before 7am on Saturdays. If it was a week day I'd be a little more sympathetic. If it was a private person making that much noise so early they'd probably give them an asbo.

This is one of my pet hates and I sympathise.


Why they can't collect during 9 to 5 on any day, thus avoiding waking up people at unreasonable hours as well clogging up the rush hours traffic.


If services are contracted out, it should be written in as a clause.


Just because the bin men want to finish early is a crap excuse.


Saturday morning whinge over, but I will write to the Council about this, because it makes me seethe, well a little.

It's worth a try

Of course it's not too early. Speaking as a road-sweeper/semi-binman in a former life (and no, not as a student) the concept of 'job and knock' ie you have a set round and then you finish made up for a poorly paid job. I think that's probably not the case since the services have been privatised but surely it's better to have the bin lorries on the street early rather than getting in the way of traffic when we want to be pottering about of a Saturday?

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
