And another thing…
Green bin charges of £36? Or is this just funding our new food and decomposing body green caddies because we can no longer afford our rapidly evolving private healthcare & funeral payments? Thank you, Vanessa Mae and the Tories!
Now in our close I cut the grass outside our house I also cut the grass for my neighbours. This is undertaken often throughout the year depending on how fast the bastard grass grows. But the new £36 green bin charge means that not only do I have to cut the grass for the council, I also have to pay them for the privilege of removing it too. I phoned the green bin Nazis. Ring ring after sixty options … hello! I then explained blah blah blah cutty grass, cutty grass etc etc the shrill nasally answer was, ‘Naaah you must pay. Everyone has to paaay! You’ve all got to paaay! Why not phone Devon County Council Roads.’
I phone them they say, ‘We only cut the grass if it’s obstructing the view of traffic and then only entrances and exits. Do you need your entrance trimmed sir? Besides it’s a North Devon District Council matter, would you like their number? Better still I’ll put you through sir.’ Oooo lovely I thought!
Ring, ring, on prime number call charges. You have two hundred and six options….option one……..! Eventually I get to option 78 green bin enquires. Ring ring click .. hello came the shrill nasally answer green bin enquiries! I was about to speak when, ‘Hahahahahaaaaaaaaa it’s you again Victor you loser! Everyone has to paaaaaaaaaay! You’ve all got to paaay!’
I think in the morning I’ll try emailing them……………
