At last.

I live in hope. Caught the next-door-but-one's latest hump-buddy
dumping a fridge and a washing machine (?!?) at the bottom of the
occupants' garden earlier (in an area that can only be described as
wasteland* now !)

*the council have already had to come in and clear it once before of
all their shi*e - sadly, my immediate next door neighbour does exactly
the same !

To do so, they had to move them over 40 feet across unkempt wilderness
(formerly "garden") and through where their fence should be - god only
knows what happened to the brand new fence they had put in for free 2
years ago, but there's no sign of one now...

Now throw into the mix that to drag it across the "lawn" they had to
move it past their entry, from where they could have had it picked up
and disposed of *for free* by the council with a single phone call.

That`s the thing that scares me the most - why put more effort into dumping
something than it takes to get it moved properly? I had an emptying session
in my house, and what was worth giving away went on freecycle, which is a
bit of a pain because of the small number of idiots who don`t turn up, and
then get back in touch a week later trying to arrange collection (and get
upset when told it`s gone). What wasn`t worth giving away was collected by
the council after one phone call and a 2 day wait for them to be back in
this area at a time I was in the house.

Compare that to dragging a washing machine to the nearest place to dump it
(well, the nearest place I ever see anything dumped is a 3 minute drive
away) and it`s obvious which is the easy option. It`d be nice if science
ever came up with a way to implant a brain in some of these idiots!

You're lucky if you can get this stuff disposed of for free. Our
council has a £20 charge. They don't seem to realise the people who
can't afford a car to get the stuff to the dump are the same ones who
can't afford £20 to have it collected. Then they wonder why so many
fridges and furniture is dumped in back lanes. No excuse if the
council does provide a free pick up though.

If they are just fairly ordinary mpeg files you can convert them to

I thought the same.

But my thoughts on the issue is that even though I am paying them to pick it
up, they expect me to carry it out to my "yard" before they will agree to
collect.

What they don't seem to understand is that if I have to pay the minimum 40
quid (yes I thought that was too much as well) for the man to help me do
this carrying, his van comes along for free, so I no longer need to pay the
council anything.

Out the back gate.

And if I were in that position I would do exactly the same. A couple
of years ago I had an engine go on me. The car was still taxed and
tested but beyond economical repair. I had to pay £30 to get it taken
to a scrap yard. If it had been untaxed the council would have removed
it for free. If it hadn't been registered I would have dumped it
behind all the other abandoned cars around here.

That makes so much sense. I believe (but could be wrong) that in Germany
if you sell a car, your insurer is responsible for third party liability
until such time as another company takes it over.

As you can imagine there are *very few* uninsured cars on the road as
buyers simply won't sell them to someone who doesn't turn up with
appropriate insurance.

You're lucky if you can get this stuff disposed of for free. Our
council has a £20 charge.

Aye, ours charges £15 for up to three "bulky items", That does *not*
include "electric appliances, cookers, garden waste, builder's rubble or
fixtures and fittings".

It's £15 *per item* item for "all Electric Appliances like; fridges,
freezers, televisions, cookers and computer monitors".

What is really gaulling is we paid our £15 quid to have some mattress'
taken away. They went in the normal rubbish collecton truck... Next time
we'll just put the stuff out and see if it goes. I really can't see the
council and the waste contractors being clued up enough to reliably and
accurately communicate that this property has this bulky waste this other
one that etc etc.

They don't seem to realise the people who can't afford a car to get the
stuff to the dump are the same ones who can't afford £20 to have it

Quite. The question was raised how does it get to the back lane if the
person hasn't a car? Well I bet they have a mate with one and a pint down
the pub will see to that...

I'm not sure I understand that. Yes I am sure - I don't understand it :-)


It was about dumping fridges and cookers, remember?

Try lifting... no, on second thoughts, let's all not bother :-)

Ah - yes, clever :-)

Sorry to be so dumb, I've just broken a little toe. Not on a fridge or
cooker. It hurts and it's distracting :-(

No.

No.

Right enough - foot up, keep all your blood, and get better soon.

You'd be suprised how many ID No.s people have; National Health No.
(which
was used for identity cards during WWII). National Insurance No., Driving
Licence & the list goes on.

They're not ID numbers though, they're specific to their purpose.
Sometimes they'll be accepted as ID but not universally.


Is it universally accepted that to know all three of the above from memory
makes one a sad old git? I only ask...

Thanks. Blood is seeping into my foot tissues judging by the ever-spreading
bruise. Doesn't hurt as much now though.

That`s the thing that scares me the most - why put more effort into
dumping something than it takes to get it moved properly? I had an
emptying session in my house, and what was worth giving away went on
freecycle, which is a bit of a pain because of the small number of
idiots
who don`t turn up, and then get back in touch a week later trying to
arrange collection (and get upset when told it`s gone). What wasn`t
worth giving away was collected by the council after one phone call and
a
2 day wait for them to be back in this area at a time I was in the
house.

Compare that to dragging a washing machine to the nearest place to dump
it (well, the nearest place I ever see anything dumped is a 3 minute
drive away) and it`s obvious which is the easy option. It`d be nice if
science ever came up with a way to implant a brain in some of these
idiots!

A simpler way would be to put an implant into the appliance and register
it to the buyer, from new. He would have the option of letting the
implant
system be aware of who he sold / gave it away to, or if he didn't, he
would face the fine for dumping.

I'd favour that as being a responsible way of dealing with the life of the
thing.

No wonder the government gets away with the stasification of this
country while there are people with attitudes like that.

What's 'stasification' ?

The turning of the country into something closely akin to 1970s E
Germany where the Stasi spied on everybody and everybody spied on each
other. A country where you had to supply ID for almost every
transaction.

You could make someone show their ID number every time they bought
something

Gosh, I haven't got an ID number - have you? Where did you get it?

The government is going to give you one whether you want it or not.

I suspect you're right. Spouse knows them all AND of course his mother's
Co-op number and his passport number and even my NH and NI numbers.

Me? I even have to have a chip'n'sig card because I can't remember any
numbers I've been given since May 1993.

Doesn't bother me one way or t'other. I can't see what all the fuss is
about.
