Discussion
There was a programme on a while ago called 'Call the Council'. They were following various Tameside council workers around on their daily duties (unfortunately Shameside MBC is my local authority) . One of the cases involved a complaint by a young woman about a local take away. She had bought an Oreo milkshake, and was disgusted to find a dead mouse in the cup, having drank most of the contents.
Environmental health paid a visit to the takeaway, which turned out had a number of issues, but they could not understand how a mouse could have made its way into the milkshake.
They paid a visit to the complainant's flat to speak to her about their findings and break the news that they did not think the take away were responsible for letting Stuart Little get into the milkshake. They asked her a few questions about the sequence of events up until she found the wee fella. The scruffy b
h lived in a st-tip, and she had taken the milkshake to bed, which is when Jerry found the milkshake and decided to go for a swim.
Another thing that marks you out as extremely council is having an ice cream man who runs some sort of unlawful side line (smuggled baccy, counterfeit vodka, porno DVDs, etc). Naturally this featured on this programme. Council enforcement officers had gone to intercept an ice cream man on his rounds and search his van, as they suspected he was selling dodgy fags. When they searched the van, not only did they find what they were looking for, but also a fat wad of cash and a pile of Lizzy Duke bling. Mr Whippy had been running a pawn broking business from his van as well.

Check out the 'floral tribute' to local gangster shot dead last night - no doubt somebody in Salford is wondering what happened to their hanging basket! 
This wins 'Council'. Toe-curlingly complete with card written in capitals. Teen goes full council.

Some fantastic quotes, eg how are you going to look after the baby? I can make soup and curry.

I live in a flat when I'm in the UK. We have a big cupboard downstairs that al the rubbish goes in to. It doesn't matter if you recycle or not, all the bags - black or clear - go in the back of the same truck once a week. I even left some tyres in there once, with a view to taking them to the tyre place that weekend for recycling - they got taken. Old paint cans, doesn't matter what it is or how toxic. The bin men take them.
And ever watched the bottle bank trucks collect the glass? It doesn't matter what colour bank you put them in, all the banks are lifted and dumped in the back of the same truck anyway.

just in answer to a posters question re: mice and why the council wouldn't investigate.
in a domestic home, if you have them, its typically because you have a garden thats overgrown, rubbish everywhere, food crumbs, opened food in yr house and animals. i.e bowls of food on the floor.
I accept its different if yr in a country pile or farmhouse.
100% of the time mice infestations are down to the tnts lifestyle. well, let me correct myself, you might on occasion have an infestation from a neighbouring flat/house potentially.
however all easily treated with a spot of poison.

Personally, I am a big fan of the "Little Nipper"I have a rodent problem in my garden shed and deal with it with a Victor electronic rat trap. It's brilliant and pretty well instant.
