I have left ours down the drive. If I leave it at the end it will go walkabouts. Problem is I will have to move it early tomorrow otherwise they will just ignore it.
Do you remember the days when bin men would walk down your entry, pick the metal bin up, empty it and bring it back.
Aye, those were the days.
Health and Safety got wheelie bins introduced. Now they can't even lift the bins just in case of injury.

Do we have to be careful with mentioning football results and spoilers for tv programs too . 😂😂😂

Sorry but I feel this is a complete overreaction to a very minor problem that didn’t need a intervention. 🙁🙁🙁🙁
WHAT???? ABSOLUTELY 100% YES!!! :wacko:

I really don't understand why people don't get it. I (and many/most other people) do NOT want to know:
  • the final score before watching the game
  • the winner before watching the race
  • the name of the killer before watching the murder mystery or...
  • the answer to a puzzle being worked on

My sister was once looking forward to taking an elderly woman to see a film which had received rave reviews. She and the old woman had carefully avoided finding out any details of the plot but a friend called round and blurted out the BIG plot twist before they could stop her. They didn't bother going to the film.

If you want to talk about (say) a cricket match, is it so difficult to post...?

I really enjoyed the test match today...
I thought that England's batting would hold up by x was bowled out after n overs, y was caught for a duck soon afterwards, and a streaker ran across the pitch
... and am looking forward to tomorrow's play.

Let me put it this way... I could get on the bus naked and tell everybody who was offended that they were stupid and if they didn't like it, they should close their eyes OR... I could take into account that most people would prefer me to wear clothes on the bus so I will wear clothes on the bus!

We had the spoiler thing rumbling on in the Tea? thread years ago. I politely asked people to stop telling me the results of that day's Tour de France stage but they refused, saying that I should 'keep up' with the race if it bothered me. I was actually always busy when the race was on live and wanted to watch the highlights later. I gave up going in there.

PS I am not the Wordle spoiler complainant - I don't play it! :laugh:

Different lot on there then, and most have left since. I think I'm the only one still posting on there, from then.

This you when the bus driver wouldn't let you on?
