Politically correct

I just nipped up the shop, and got waylaid by the dustcart in the middle of the road.

When I could drive on, I saw that it was a young lady driving this vehicle.

So so as not to offend anybody, do we not call them 'Dustmen' anymore?
Are we to now say 'Dust People?'

They are Refuse Operatives, or Recycling Technicians.

They are Waste Management And Disposal Technicians

Re: Politically correct

Oh. So when the 'Bin Persons' are due next week, I must remember to put my technically disposable waste out for the Refuse, or Recycling Technicians to collect in their ........... waste & recycling operational vehicles then.

I'll have to write it on my calendar so's I don't forget and offend anyone.

Re: Politically correct

Now we all have wheelie bins why aren't they called wheelie bin collectors?

Re: Politically correct

Because men like to complicate things, Twink.
That's why.

Re: Politically correct

I still call them what we did when we lived in Scotland - "Scaffies".

Re: Politically correct

Ooer, I've never heard that one before, CeeCee.
