What is it then ? Old age ? 

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

....
 They dont even carry the bins anymore like they  used to. They just wheel them to the truck. 
Bunch of woosies. 

I remember bin men carrying the bins out on their shoulders .... they had a big leather pad they put the bin on 
SWMBO used to work in waste management. The binners were a bolshy lot!

Yep.....for many years as a kid our binman was a wiry Glaswegian who went by the name of Jock.

He was as hard as nails and always stank of stale Woodbines and scotch. Most of the time he was quite affable except when the bin was filled with lumps of broken concrete.

.... and who would do such a thing?

Wimpy …….

A couple of years back, their famous Bender in a Bun got renamed Mr Bendy.  Clearly that is too much for middle class Oxfordian types with nothing better to do, and has now called Pork Bendy.

For years I thought Wimpy had gone completely, since we lost the one in your old homeland formerly known as Cadena Cafe. It was years later that I realised that they still existed. 

How the hell can a Pork Bender be more acceptable than a Mr Bendy.

Our bins were square, made of galvanised steel and fitted, by two lugs either side, into a metal frame in our back yard wall. The binmen would have to carry them the full length of the back alley (jigger), tip them and bring them back.
But they were the same binmen for years, and they used to get a small Christmas gift off everyone.

I'll give you a pork bender, young man

Dehydration?

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

Yes thanks Nick, that will be the cause.

I remember that well, shame they ruined Friars Square and the underground market with the crap redevelopment 35ish years ago.  I know the old Friars Square was a bit 1960s brutalist, but was miles better.  And it had a Wimpy.

Pissed off because I got stung on my upper arm by a wasp with the venom of a King Cobra.    The pain went upwards and downwards in my arm. I have a fairly high pain threshold but by shit, that hurt.

I like Cobra.

Oh, sorry, distracted by the thought of curry and beer

I'm rather partial to a drop of Cobra as well.
