The Wheelie Bin Race!

[gness]

Our houses in the close have drives sloping quite steeply towards the houses....

My neighbours either side work so I take the bins back in on collection day.

I usually do one at a time but today I discovered that if I place the bins just right where the footpath and drives meet...then run along and tap them....five bins today....they head off down the drives on their own!

Next door's blue bin won today......so....

a) Would it help if I oil the wheels on my bin?
b) Have I too much time on my hands?
c) Am I far too easily amused for a woman of my age?

Oh blimey, Psybs.....I will oil all the wheels on the bins in the close...so they run freely.......flippin' councils......☺

psybbo, so true, they broke a wheel on my bin. I had to drive a round trip of 25 miles to collect the axle and wheels, pay £10-00 for the privilege and fit them myself.
