Rubbish

[jackangel]

A couple of weeks ago, our dustmen were six hours late. Despite the unnervingly static street invasion of green (Value Version) daleks, one other fact came into clear focus:

Rubbish is the best Southwark department. By far. Consistently. For years!

They do The Job, day in day out, rain or shine, through any clich?. At Christmas they tell you when they will be coming ? and they keep their word!

Can?t stuff it in your bin? They will come and make a special collection.

Lost a container? They will deliver a new one.

Dog mess? Give them a ring.

Got an unwanted vat of snake venom? The recycling centre will deal.

No more flattening the back seat of the shooting brake and driving out to a country lane, or pouring murky substances down the neighbour?s drain under cover of darkness (unless this is a hobby).

Trouble is, they make the other council departments look so inefficient, self-serving, smug, confused or plain obstructive. Could Rubbish take over running them all?

Or is Rubbish just behind the times and not yet been through modern council management training?

Oh dear.

They were "six hours late"? Never realised there was a particular time they were meant to arrive...

At last a bit of honesty in a thread title.............it really is rubbish. I wish the council could collect those word and song threads that go on forever and are way past their sell by date.

Ditto some of the posters.
