Surrey Phil Oct 2024 2:55pm, 8 Oct 2024 10,728 posts	0 Surrey Phil Our bin men don't arrive until after 7.00 am. If the landfill bin is overflowing or you put your food caddy out overnight, then there is a good chance of mess the next day. We are also told to have everything ready by 6.00 am but they're never that early. I don't know whether some people think that the urban wildlife are daft but they certainly do know where to find food and how to get bin lids and sealable containers open.

um Oct 2024 10:21am, 9 Oct 2024 8,924 posts	0 um The absolute pain fighting the insurance AI 'helpline' to actually talk to someone rather than an AI or even a person online chat. Takes about 50 mins to do what could have been done in 5 mins by phone. May need a new insurance company that has telephone customer support next year.

Lesley C Oct 2024 10:34am, 9 Oct 2024 4,075 posts	0 Lesley C I know Ally, there is one in Aberdeen in particular that people just can't use. It has 3 lanes and nobody seems to be able to use it. If it was a HGV I would understand cutting the lanes but not in a small car.
ThorntonRunner Oct 2024 11:57am, 9 Oct 2024 7,767 posts	0 ThorntonRunner I got hit a few years ago on a roundabout with four lanes. Two lanes fed into one of the exits, I was in the second lane and exiting when the guy in the inside lane continued round the roundabout and drove into the side of us 🙄
