Being the busy-body I am I just called your council pretending to be your friend across town and the lovely lady said she’d be able to get your bin collected today. Pretending again, not knowing your street number I said you’d give her a call back.

Sounds a bit far-fetched. I’ll give them a call.

…AND as expected, they won’t come back. She asked why they’d missed it, and I said it was because I had a builder here whose vehicle was in the way.

“Ah, well they won’t come back, ‘cos it wasn’t their fault. If it was a vehicle in the way, they won’t come back.”

But you’re right, she didn’t actually laugh at me :)

Oh well. We live and learn.
