Two fingers?...You got that right!

When I was young, the binmen were a happy bunch of blokes, always joking, nothing too much trouble, and boy did they get filthy! Back then, there was not only your household waste, but cinder & ash bins from coal fires. They deserved every penny of their wage, and the Christmas tips from grateful householders. Last week, whilst watching our bin men, (I know, I need to get out more) I observed that the only thing they lift are the tubs filled with empty cans/glass/plastic. What do these weigh? Less than your average newborn baby. They wheel the bin to the cart, where a hydraulic lifts it and empties it, and then they wheel it back. You could do their job dressed in white tie and tails, and not get grubby. They are miserable, checking everyones bin to see if we are smuggling 'contraband' into the dustcart. Two fingers? They cant use them to wheel a bin - because they're too busy sticking them up at us on behalf of the council.
