ok today"s topic of hate are,
thieves
council tax
moron receptionists!
and this is why,
took my recycle bin out this morning early, the bin men emptied the bin as i was leaving the house, so did not really have time to bring it in off the street when i had a hyper springer spaniel doing back flips wanting to be out! so i left it until i returned!
returned home after our walk (3 hours later) to discover our bin had been nicked!
THIEVES grrrrrrrrr! dirty *** low life bin snatchers! a bin for christs sake!
so i thought i would give the council a ring to arrange a new one!
it turns out that they will give me one, but at a charge of £20
i explained that i had not lost my bin, burned it, customised it or used it for an experiment of any sort and that i was a genuine victim of crime here and all that i required was a new bin! a facility that THEY provide for a service that I pay for thanks to my council tax!
no joy, you have to stump up £20 for a replacement, simple as!
i was a tad angry by this and asked what i paid my council tax for?
and all i got was a load of council policy bobbins etc by a woman that sounded very stuck up!
all i want is a bin ***!
i am not selling the things on ebay!
anyway, a little bit fuming, i worded a little email to the complaints dept of there website!
so let"s see if it worked! (i doubt it)
and if not, i shall phone the police and get a crime reference number for the council to deal with!
i am sure the paperwork that the police will have to deal with over this will ultimately cost over £20, plus the fact i will get a new bin out of it and will indeed validate my pound of flesh for my council tax i pay!
