Will the binmen take to extra or is it another trip to the tip at my own expense as suggested by our 'Garbage Guru', Councillor S. Tomlinson?<br /><br />I pay my council tax but am expected to take what the council should collect to the tip at my expense because the binmen 'deserve a break'. Come off it. Offer the guys a Christmas bonus and get the bins emptied when they should be.
