Unfortunately, cyclists are unidentifiable and, hence, effectively above the law. On the other hand, they seem quite proud of the fact that they race around with little cameras on their heads in the hope of being able to prosecute motorists.

I had heard of that and seen pictures of rows of bins amid rubbish strewn all over.

But I thought that was some time ago. Is it really still like that?

Actually, I also painted huge numbers on my bins, as big as I could get them but they still end up elsewhere.

The strike is supposed to be over.. but the service is very hit and miss, when the bin men arrive we all run out and take selfies of them.
We had a bit of a prob with the purchase of the new French bin lorries..they were ok for the boulevards of Paris but not fir the backstreets of Brum..far too wide...

I have just seen that advert and I agree. They couldn't get any more weird people in it if they tried.
