White van man called at 7pm Saturday evening. "Can I clear your rubbish away?" says he, having espied about 30 full rubble bags in my front garden. I declined without further enquiry and he went peacefully on his way. The rubble will be disposed of correctly by my man. I wondered, why on patrol at that time, what would I have been charged in Surrey and would another leafy lane get blighted ? Reply to this message | Report message

Relax, probably no more to this than meets the eye. Although I agree your rubble may have been fly-tipped elsewhere. I've known of burglars who tap on the door first to see if you are in, but there's no answer to that, other then never go out.

Burglar alarms are off putting to the sneak thief .The Pro's get in anywhere.Fly tipping is getting to be a right pain.Why is this?Don't the council pick up rubbish free or for a small fee. The ten foot behind the daughters house is going to be cleared by the council.W/machines rubbish never seen out like it.Whats up with these people dumping rubbish everywhere are they crazy?The houses on the other side of the ten foot are council proprerty with massive gardens .Good quality propertys with people living in them who don't give a tosh and dumping all their rubbish overboard.

A rough looking youth came up the drive and asked if I wanted to sell my caravan, while I was around the far side of it removing a wheel, He looked a most unlikely prospective purchaser. On reflection, I suppose he might have been the type of caravanner who is not usually in the Caravan Club. Last edited by: Manatee on Sun 11 Sep 11 at 12:08 Reply to this message | Report message

Slight drift... A young lad knocked on my door many years ago while I was living in a rented property and asked if he could buy the old bike that was in my back garden, but as this was my chosen form of transport on just one night each week when I would have a few beers with friends, I declined his kind offer, and the bike subsequently vanished two days later.

When we were in "Fortytinsoftuna" ( thanks Bobby ) this year we were wandering down a beach when a party of Yorkshire pensioners appeared in front of us in the nuddy. Most of them would have been significantly improved by the addition of some loose fitting fabric. I got the giggles which was neither useful or kind but I couldn't help it.

And no doubt, if instead of them being wrinkly pensioners, they were beach babes, you would immediately have looked at their feet to make sure they weren't wearing cheap flippiefloppies???

I get those all the time. Usually half tinker types. I invariably look out before answering the door. If they look rough I don't even bother. If they have a clipboard or visible name tag, ditto. Trade waste isn't disposed of free. That is why it is fly tipped everywhere. If tips took everyone's waste then it wouldn't be such a problem. I think business waste should be disposed off for free as business rates are crippling for a lot of businesses so having to pay to have domestic style waste removed is a cheek I think. For specialist waste then it is a different matter but paper and old tea bags etc should be taken for nothing. Reply to this message | Report message       1

There's money in certain amounts of muck - the village I live in is quite affluent and largely disillusioned with the Anglesey regime. Toying with the idea of clubbing together to collect certain parts of our own recyclables and cutting the council out of the equation...need a van though ! Reply to this message | Report message

I have a lock up full of old power supplies etc I need to get rid of. I was storing them in the hope that I will one day have enough to get a free collection, but it seems unless I have 100's I will have to pay for it. They must be worth quite a bit to scrap dealers.
