I'm with MSP on this its nothing to do with being lucky or right Its about taking responsibility for your actions and possessions not looking to pass the buck whenever anything bad happens Good god people we are not Americans are we

Exactly !! the council should take responsibilty for their actions and possessions !!!

Well said !!!

You can guarantee that the bin would'nt look like that outside the council office would it ?

Broxap litter bins BX45 2580 dog waste bin £145.  not too much to spend is it ?

Well here's the problem....

Before the council can assess the damaged bin, they have to fill out a risk assessment, to see if it will damage the workers, then they have to be wearing a hard hat, safety boots, kevlar gloves.... then they will cordon the area off, before 3 disgruntled workers come to remove the bin. Then because it has had waste product in it, it will have to be sent to be decontaminated before they can send it for recyling, then of course its another risk assessment to install a new one and it goes on.......

What are we paying such high council taxes for ???

Failing that, contact your local MP and ask them to claim for one !!

Thanks for the offer, I bought the whole box set at the same time, was a real bargain at £25.00.

I'm looking for a triple chainset at the mo.

The rear shock can take it!! i weigh 15 1/2 stone and in two and a half years, not a single problem, it can take a serious amount of abuse as well as my arse is permanently stuck to the saddle descent or climb.

I run a ransom 10 frame with rc41 forks and it loves the bumps !
