Default OT wheelie bin pollution rant

Is it just me that find wheelie bins noise-polluters?


Oddly enough, I saw a wheelie bin being used as a drum yesterday...

On its side on a pavement in Brighton, with a variety of other
percussion around, and a second person playing a disappointingly
normal bongo.

Hardly new! Pookisnackenburger (which spawned 'Stomp') were using metal
bins in the 1980s, and they had roots in Brighton.. Merely derivative!

Inside the lid of one of my wheelie bins there's a "sound" sort of
logo and a mention of "99dB".

I suppose that should be dBA...

Strange you should mention that. The school's bins mention something
like 98 dB on them. These are the ones that are used for paper
re-cycling though.
