Testid me freeza last nite ferrabit. Then switched it oft. Put it on/off a few times and noticed if cold it will trigger the compresser to start straight away. Me furst broke'd frezza hadda delayed start once powered. Only a few seconds burreye finks it were related to the fault. Chap who came to look at it reported the compressor motor was seized. If not seized it were certainly bustid.
Got me thinking about how bins have changed since I were a nipper. We had one bin, galvanised steel which lasted forever. Everything including hot ashes went in. The council bin men used to tilt them and roll them on the bottom rim to the bin wagon, lifted them up manually and tipped the contents into the wagon. They must have been knackered after a days work.
Your blokes were wusses! Our blokes, in Hull, used to bring an empty bin with them to ours at the end of the garden near the house, they'd tip our bin into theirs then very cleverly lift and spin so the bin ended up on a shoulder. They'd then walk it to the truck and chuck the contents in. So that way they never needed to make a return trip to each house. Two trips down the garden rather than 4 each time.
Peeps weren't daft in those days!
Wusses. Didn't they know how to run?
TBH, and you'll find this hard to believe, some of them did run, or nearly. guess if they finished early they could just go home!!Wusses. Didn't they know how to run?

When eye were a nippa we had a plastic black round bin wivva black plastic bin bag innit. Bin men would come round un take said bag oot and leave er nuvva one chucked somewhere. Later ont bin twuk would come and different bin men would chuck bags int twuk.
Years later wheely bins errived. Yer had ter puttid yer own oot. Caused fukin up ror it did. Peeps left there bins oot side their ouses. Some were set back from the road by council cut grass. So their bins wernt emptied. Propper kicked oft it did. Wur int local rag anorl. They had to put their bins road side anorl. Too rite the wingin bastids.
We had that anorl, before wheelie bins arrived. Still got a couple of the bins, use them to store things like spare builders bags and small bits of scaffold tower.
Nowt changes. I'm on here again tonite talking rubbish

Our guys carried a wicker basket which they emptied 2 or 3 bins into then over the shoulder and back to the dust cart. Less waste in those days mind, as any that burned went on the coal fire.
