FLY2 10,109 Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 A brilliant start to the day. The bin men have returned our bins to the top of my drive instead of leaving then strewn over pavement. It must be something to do with their manager recently moving in a few doors down the road. Anyway, well done lads. Also regarding litter. There was a large gang of orange jacket clad individuals collecting litter along the old railway embankment the other day. They had Community Payback emblazoned on the back of their jackets. Brilliant, get em grafting ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nina did not go back again. So grandson had to learn the song at home. With all the grunts. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
