councils in this day and age are useless.....

So sake of argument, your car caught fire just as you moved it and the useless cnut on the digger was too lasy to dump 2 ton of snow on it - would you be pisshed?

Ha! Ha!. Actually I'd be ~~~~ing delighted.... it's a heap o' sh1te... I'd be telling everyone to stand back... let it burn..

let it burn it then melts snow another tea break for the council workers

No sure... the council workers might do some work for 10 minutes say..

You see, normally during working hours... the council workers DRINK TEA.. and they may stop drinking tea... and have a 10 minute work break..... then return to drinking TEA.

Completely opposite from any other working ideology.

slip them a score they'll put it out. they tarred a drive for me for 50

Just to add... starting basic for refuse collector is: ?16,500 /annum.

It's been a while since I checked, but this is/was the same amount for the Police (outside london)

Just to add more proof to the lazy work ethic the council workers have...... I used to work in a call centre for a mobile network, not the best of hard workers if you go by customer experience. But to do the job properly you really did have to work ya balls off.
Anyway, a member of my team found herself a job in a council office. She was bored stupid, everyday she would finish her work by lunch time....it took the previous fish all day to do the same work.

Private sector should take over, but not as a privatisation (~~~~ing spelling really bad, )

Possable last fish did the same, found she could get away with spinning out all day to releive bordom


Goes the other way - true - ish story.

New accountant for a 'building company' - used to work for the Council
The 'buidling company' working method is - same as M-H-M:-

A team member needs some parts, orders them signs delivery note - so say yes had the parts, put's in tray pen pusher sends cheque. Simple end of.

Council guy could not understand that one person was 'trusted' to do this on their 'own' - the guy thought it was VERY odd that the company didn't have TWO workers to sign to say yes had the 'gear;!

Meat.

They are all the same Labour Council, Liberal, Conservative the rules are same you have to beg them for almost every thing you need, for planning permission, school grants, council tax, etc, and it can take up to three to six months for them to response I think it?s the policy to stop people claiming going through hell.

Update seen council workers in my street today not doing much

And bin collections back on woo hoo

[bonus2010]

had a canadian woman in my taxi in glasgow last week-she was pissing herself laughing at our feeble attempts to clear the roads and pavements. In her country they get 20 times more snow yet they manage to keep their transportation system up and running.Why- because they have proper manpower and proper machinery.In this counrty we pay some of the highest taxes in the world so why do we put up with this.

Hear hear..

A fellow in my area applied for a job with the Council.
The interview went well said the official but I've just two more questions to ask you. 'Do you drink tea or coffee' 'No' he said 'as I'm allergic to cafeine ' 'And if I may ask do you suffer from piles or haemeroids' 'No' was the reply
'Ok then you can start Monday at ten o clock' 'But the others start at eight' says yer man to which the boss replied 'Yeah but they stand around for two hours drinking tea and coffee and scratching their arses so there's no use in you coming in till ten'

I suppose if they do buy all the proper machinery and it isn't needed for another 20 years by which time it's rusted away to uselessness you'd be moaning about how much money's been wasted buying it all
