Council Tip Find

[Dave 123]

The Milton tip in Cambridge is very interesting.
If you go there often enough you'll see certain chrome homers accidentally bump into staff physically...... Their hands meet.... And they pass wads of paper to one another.

I've never been able to work out what is happening

Point of order Mr chairman! It's not a tip, it's a recycling centre! as I was told when taking six bags of household rubbish that the binman didn't take. I was also told I could only take 3 bags! The bloke looked out of his hut and shouted " you won't be coming back today will you!" "No, I'll just chuck the rest over that hedge at the bottom of the lane!!

As the bike was in the skip, and not parked by it, there is every likelyhood that it was broken beyond repair. Try consoling yourself with that thought.

@JoeyB that is naughty of you

If its any consolation we never made the holes in the fence...we just took advantage of them when they appeared lol

The bike was resting by a large recycling bin on the ground, just as you reverse your car up. Had I been able to reverse up to its exact location, I might have been able to absorb it into my boot.

I'm over it now. Just about.

My missus was at the dump a few years back (she wasn't my missus then, though we were in a loving relationship, we were married more recently, this year in fact, we had a great time and honeymooned in Finland) where she spotted Midge Ure bin diving.

Maybe if the OP had dressed up as an '80s popster, the lanky one out of Spandau ought to do it, then the bike would be his. Come to think of it, most of the council waste recovery and recycling operatives dress like that chap out of Dexy's midnight runners, denim workwear a plenty.

Funny you should say that, this weekend I am going to a Double Denim / 80s party so I will probably look like Limahl or whatever his name was.

No, the wheels were off, chain was hanging. I better post a pic!
