The bin work is proving interesting. You can tell a lot about people from the type of crap they throw away. The lower classes tend to junk a lot of electronics and brik a brak like designer clothes, and the upper classes tend to go through alcohol, a lot of alcohol, did i mention a lot of alcohol? Not to be confused with the lower classes that go through a lot of alcohol, because they do, indeed drink a lot too, but you can judge it by the area and the surroundings. The lowers tend to drink a lot of beers, like stacks, the uppers like wines. Also, the wealthy tend to pack their bins full and put in bits of awkward heavy stuff, like bits of wood or heaps of grasscuttings. I've never experienced looking at rubbish often, partly because my old dear used to burn all of our rubbish at home. The council bin men stopped coming to our place over 15 years ago despite the fact we were still paying taxes, they simply wouldn't show up. I told my mother several times to call them and get them to do the job, but she simply couldn't be bothered and ended up burning all waste out the back. This honestly was how we dealt with the rubbish for over a decade. Often I'd return home from work, to have to throw petrol over a stack of rubbish, maybe a months worth and just light it up in one fell swoop, watch it burn off over an evening, job done. Told you, you can tell a lot about people about how they deal with rubbish.
