Does anyone else find it weird that refuse collectors work over the holiday period? I've just put the bins out, and it is Christmas Day!!

Ours had the day off and collected on Christmas Eve instead.

It's weird though, we had a slip of paper through in the mailbox, almost apologising for the inconvenience of having our bins collected A WHOLE DAY EARLY just so the garbos could have the day off.

Oh, just noticed what time you posted, you must have been putting your bins out for today, Boxing Day?

Yeah, it's totally bizarre!

Just checked out the BBC pics of what happens at midnight on NYE. Auckland- fireworks, Sydney- fireworks, Hong Kong- fireworks.


Japan, middle aged fat guys in loincloths beating the hell out of an innocent mochi with a stick.

Russia, no fireworks, lots of miserable police and one small paper balloon with a fire lit under it.
