Missing a bin? Maybe they're here ;o)

Oh great - maybe ours which went missing a few months ago. Unfortunately we already have our replacement or I’d come and get one.

Two days after our green bin went missing I caught a man in a white van taking our black bin out of our garden to his van and loading watermelons into it to deliver somewhere. My black bin, where I throw away all sorts of unappetising things including dirty nappies. I confronted the man, who had already loaded up the watermelons by the time I got there, and made him at least promise to bring the bin back (which he did) I was a bit stuck being heavily pregnant and with a toddler in the house, I wasn’t really able to chase him down.

Anyway, the moral of the story is check the receptacle your watermelon is delivered in and be sure to check it for suspicious stains and nasty niffs.

PS the happy ending to this story is that Veolia took pity on me and waived the £35 replacement fee
