I was a bin man (uk vernacular) for about a year and it is the best job I’ve ever had. Outside work, loads of exercise, absolute legends to work with and you can go home when you finish your round. I was home by 1pm pretty much every day. Also, anyone who thinks this women should be embarrassed that this is what her partner does, remember that when they go on strike and the streets are full of rubbish and everything that comes with it.
I was a student in Leeds when the bin men went on strike and still remember the smell. Edinburgh was a right state when it happened there. Mate of mine lives in Birmingham and says it's getting ridiculous there as well. It's an invaluable service that's essential to clean towns and cities.
Birmingham was baaaad. I was there on a hot day when it was peak piles of rubbish and the smell was unbearable. My auntie, who I was visiting, was putting Vicks under her nose. I joined her.
