Thanks for nothing, binmen.

Sir,  I would just like to say a HUGE thank you to the bin man who decided NOT to collect my bin today!

Yes there is a car parked on the drive - my son is stuck Ireland - he doesn't live here.

BUT there is ample room to get to the bin. I have had delivered this week two large white goods items and surprise, surprise they could get past.

Perhaps you could tell the bin man in question my husband is bed bound and I am disabled by Polio.

I use a scooter and, lo and behold, I can get past the car on that! He should be thoroughly ashamed of himself that he makes judgements regarding people's circumstances without knowledge.

I was in no doubt that they would refuse to collect this week!! BUT unfortunately I can't drive so was not able to move the car!

And unfortunately I can barely WALK so I couldn't get the bin to the gate!!

Well, thanks again bin man - I hope someone treats your mother in this way if and when she might require a little thoughtful help. BIN MAN OF THE YEAR - I THINK NOT.
