Why do they make out something is true when it isn't?

Success

The timing is rather ironic don't you think? A day after I put up my blog and told Mr Bin-man that if his boss doesn't sort out my bin there will be hell to pay I.e. if they can't deliver to me I shall send my rubbish direct to him a BIN arrives. The boss delivered it himself. He was just going to walk off so I hailed him through the window to see it was who I thought it was.

He said yes he was 'John Brickles'. Oh joy of joys after ignoring me for months the chap was here in person. Guess the threat of posting my rubbish to him worked! He said that 3 bins had been delivered and I said they hadn't. He then said there were extra bins at the end of the street which due to our strange estate is actually classed as a different street.

He tried to make out that the bins had been delivered to the door. Now that was correct in a couple of cases. However logically if the 3^rd one had been delivered to the door it would be there. He didn't seem to have an answer for that one. Apparently there is a policy of taking the bins away but not bringing them back. A bit daft if you ask me but there it is.

I said if they bring in a new policy perhaps they should inform people. He said its not a new policy it has always been like that and he has been a Bin-man for 10 years. I pointed out that I had lived here for 15 and it has never been this system. He wasn't able to answer that one either. He just reiterated that he had been on the rounds himself for 10 years and it was like this in lots of areas. I said well maybe it has in other areas but not here. He said yes it had and only registered disabled people got their bins returned. So I asked where was my neighbours bin the? Another answer he didn't have.

He said he would look into it. He said people should have numbers on the bins. This was another own goal since the one they had originally taken did have a number on it and due to a mistake it had my disabled neighbours number on it not mine. Therefore whichever system they were supposedly using his should have been brought back. I then pointed out that I now have a bin since he has brought me one but my neighbours either side still hadn't. Therefore couldn't they have some of the spare bins knocking around? Oh no that would be far too easy. He would have to go back to the office and I quote 'Look into it.'.

The next thing I tackled him about was the fact that often they didn't bring our recycling bags back. He said that was impossible as they emptied them straight into a bin so they never left the property. I said yes it was so he said they must of blown away. Now yes that is possible in a couple of cases but not the whole time. As for this never leave the property lark well I had an answer for that. Unfortunately by this time I was so cross about him trying to make out that this was all in my mind I forgot to mention it. If they never leave the property how come sometimes they bring back different coloured bags to the ones we put out? I suppose he would have said they got cold over night and changed colour.

Next I tackled him about the brown bin. My nice shiny brown bin which my mum had personally put numbers on top. This bin had been delivered to my door unlike the other one which he insisted they had. Maybe they had put it inside the brown one then sheesh. Anyway this was lovely brown bin and I thanked him for the delivery. However it would be really nice since they have delivered it to actually start emptying it. I mean that is rather the point of having one isn't it. Another no answer.

Frankly I am not impressed you don't bother to answer my messages, you make excuses and finally you make out that I am a liar because you have been doing this 10 years whereas I only have lived here for 15. Well I think your in the right job because your attitude is most definitely rubbish!
