To me , it makes perfect sense that a mask will slow down the spread of bugs . It won't stop it , but the basic mechanics of having something in front of your face , will slow everything down. I'll be honest , I don't bother with masks , flu jabs etc , but masks are just standard practice in other countries . It's just seen as polite , to not cough and sneeze your bugs over other people. I might start wearing a mask. Just to make scotty itch .

How come you don't think folks should wear masks scotty ?. I know that they won't completely stop the spread of bugs , but they'll definitely slow/lower the spread.

That must be some hard going in those temps mack . He's doing it the old fashioned way as well. It's absolutely back breaking. I'm a driver these days , and I couldn't imagine doing that job anymore. I used to love it , but looking back , it was f***ing awful .

I met my late wife as we were walking down the street (she was 15 and i was 17), we just started talking , and we were inseparable until we lost her . I met my second wife at work. She was running a nightclub , and I was working the door . Within ten minutes of meeting her , she gave me a huge plate of food , and that was me caught .

Oh I love the ones with all the qualifications, but couldn't find there own arse in the dark. I especially love it when they explain to me how I've been doing it wrong for the last 25 years , and they're going to sort it all out. I really go out of my way to help those fuckers .

None of the managers will have ever been in business , and have no understanding of how things work , and how to do a deal , and get the best out of a deal. They're mainly clueless fuckwits , that have spent a lifetime working for a local authority , and think that they get the best out of a man , by tying his hands and beating him with a stick. They understand nothing about , motivation , teamwork , efficency , or human nature.

Absolutely bang on the money wilf. It's never been a very pleasant or easy job , that's just the nature of the beast , but all the lads were grafters , and would just crack on with it , without a word of complaint. Anything you made on top , always made you feel good, and really motivated you. If they caught you taking tat out of a bin now , you'd be signing on before the end of your shift. When things go wrong now , the council just employs more management. I don't even know most of my managers now , because they work from home , and I've never even met them , you just hear new nam

Mate you wouldn't believe some of the stories I could tell you , because they're just so unbelievable. Some of the things that stick in my head , are a supervisor trying to force me to drive my lorry , the wrong way up a one way street . Two supervisors trying to lock me in an office , and back me into a corner , to physically intimidate me into answering my phone while I drive my lorry ( the pair of pricks got a reaction they didnt expect that day , and have never been stupid enough to try that one since). A supervisor grabbing one of the young office girls by the throat with

Of course you can mack , but can you hurry up please , because it's spreading all around the house. My mrs used to follow him around , picking up the mess , but I've finally convinced her to leave it until he goes home , then we just sweep the devastation into a box , and put it away until next time. He's autistic, and chaos and being naked are his happy places. He's here until Sunday , and my brain is already frazzled . I can't wait to get back to work and have a rest .

I'm not at work today mate. I'm childminder for the day. Don't worry, I've got it completely under control.

I know wilf. It's almost as if folks don't realise that we're bone idle layabouts sometimes

They banned tinsel and cards in the cab about five years ago mack.

Oh mate , I could write a book . I'm convinced that the hse are as crooked as the council . I contacted the hse over a very serious matter( dangerous to employees and the public , and illeagal) . I included a long statement, and pictures . All I got was an email saying that the employer only has to try to limit the risks , they don't have to make things safe. They never even looked at it. I've seen a guy get a warning after a needle stick , from a hypo that had been hidden on the inside of a bin handle . They tried to force me to leave after I got stabbed in the leg . I'd asked

It's my only pleasure in life .

I've been claiming it for years mate . It was something that the union rep clicked on to years ago . You'd think that the council might have washers and driers , because of it being such a dirty job ( disease rather than dirt), but we don't even have showers , and we regularly have no usable toilets , or hand washing facilities. The union rep does his best , but management just ignore him , and the higher ups in the union are in bed with the management. Most of the workforce are agency , so they only have to glance at the management sideways , and they're out of a job.

That's exactly what I tell myself every day , as I'm throwing my work clothes in the washing machine because they stink of shit .

You can bet your life on ethnic minorities making a mess mate. They live very differently to the rest of us.

I'm a binman tomo. Back in the old days , when it was bin bags , you could have a week off at Christmas, and take two weeks worth of bags the following week , but now that it's wheelie bins , you can't do it. Once the bin is full , it's full , so it has to be done the same week .
-
You're just jealous because I look so elegant whilst I'm doing it .
-
That looks fantastic mack . I'd love to have that freedom of choice , and for Christmas to feel like Christmas again. We get Christmas day and boxing day off. But we have to work two Saturdays to make up for it( so we actually have no time off) . Management have already started with veiled threats for anyone that doesn't turn up to do the overtime.

Aaaaahhhh, so you feck olives ?????. Suddenly it all becomes clear mate . That peanut sized todger of yours must come in really handy mate .

Looks like you might be right scotty . Just seen a bit about it on the news.
