The Weather

Must have been like a hurricane in the Etihad the way Yaya fell over.

^^^^ it wasn't Yaya!

My god how bad was it this morn? Wet windy and dark and at 7.30 not fun as I'm a bin man....bins all over the place!
-----------------------------------
I saw a story in the newspaper last year about how much binmen in England were being paid. Makes me look like I'm on a trainee McDonald's wage.

I worked as a binman in Australia for 3 months, I was on the equivilant of £30,000 a year UK money and it was an easy job as well.

I wish our bin men would walk the extra 2 yards to put the bin back on the drive instead of leaving it on the edge of the pavement - in these winds it blows into the road - it is literally an arm extension away from where they leave it

======================

Apart from going to the rubbish tip, which stunk to high heaven, it was an ok job. If you get on the hard waste (collecting TV's and sofas etc.) it was a cakewalk.

Even the rubbish collection was ok, as you'd be running around like a maniac trying to get it done quickly so it got you fit. Was back home by pretty much 12 everyday.

I don't know what it's like in the UK but I've certainly never seen any of our binmen run about

A lot of the binmen or 'Garbo's' in Australia are rugby league or Aussie Rules players and use the their bin round as a way of staying fit.
