What is the PH approved way to have your wheelie bins identified? I assume having them sent away to be professionally sign written at HRH's approved wheelie bin sign writers.
I've painted the laughing swordfish from Das Boot on all of ours
We've also got a second large size garden waste bin which we are not meant to have, so to throw the binmen off the scent that one has Hello Kitty painted on it.

To add to the council, I have a "stolen" wheelie bin. It is unmarked and pristine.
After the original one went missing, I asked the council for a new one. I came back from work a day or two later to find a brand spanking new bin on the front path.
To keep it a secret, I've left it un-numbered and its hidden round the corner at the front. I only use it to empty the car based rubbish into, so it's full of Costa cups etc. Every year or so I sneak it out. Due to the layout of where I live the bin men collect some bins on our road from the front and neighbour's organise them into little gaggles of bins for collection. Rthe prefect hiding place.
I nearly got rumbled by a bin man who asked me where the new bin lived as he didn't recognise it. Yes he knows every bin on every street. Fearing the game was up I told him I didn't know so he left it out on the pavement. I recovered it after dark.
Stealing and hiding bins from the council - council.
I ended up with two large garden waste bins (see above ^) due to council incompetence - I needed a new one and it took AGES! By coincidence I rang up to complain about this on the exact day they'd delivered it while I was at work. The next day another one arrived - RESULT! It's mighty handy as we have a lot of garden and a lot of trees. Even better they've started collecting them every week. Never been rumbled.

Bragging about the size of your garden and the contents therein.Taking shameless advantage of the council's admin error due to your own impatience and actions.
Council.

Anyway, daughter of a fitness instructor from Plymouth. Council.
Oh and I can fold my arms in such a way as to make my muscles look big.
I don't, though. Why? That's council.

Our recycling bin was stolen, or I would hope 'mislaid' - we live in a private road FFS! Its replacement duly arrived and in full knowledge of this thread, and the councilinity of spray painted identifying house number, I ordered some large-enough-to-be-clearly-seen-but-no-so-big-as-to-look-properly-council stick on numbers to hopefully make it a keeper.
One of my neighbours makes the statement that they are apparently far from cahncil by deploying some of these:

Whilst we're on wheelie bins: f
knuts who have a recycling bin but refuse (see what I did there?) to use it, just shoving all their st into an overflowing bi-weekly collected normal bin. Lazy council tts. Carrying on the wheelie bin theme, I got home from a weekend away Monday AM to find that I'd forgotten to put the bins out.
Despite the bin men still being on my road, they refused to return to my house as they'd already passed it, despite only being 20 doors down.
So rather than face a bank holiday trip to the tip (which in itself has to be about the most utterly council pastime) I drove to the next street and dumped bags of rubbish in other people's as yet unemptied wheelie bins

My wife has invited her friend to stay for a few days. I have just endured dinner with her blowing on every morsel before putting it in her mouth. Pudding..... Started off again.
Next time I hope she visits in the summer and salad is the order of the day.
She also slams every door.
I thought people from Berkshire were meant to be refined. Every 'a' is rolled into an arrrrrrrrrrrr. Roll on Thursday.

Putting this out there, we all know that any form of writing on a wall at home is council so where does this stand ?
Personally I hate this st but that's just my opinion 
That looks hateful - like a call centre (the modern day dark, satanic mill).Personally I hate this s
t but that's just my opinion We do have stuff on our office walls, but since I work in gaming (probably council) it's stuff like giant wall size photos of horses taking jumps, golfers, roulette wheels and so on. It's actually quite cool.
