The saga of Mort and the wheelie bin continues .......
I thought that finally, Haringey and I had achieved an understanding when they agreed to deliver a replacement bin "in mid-October". Hooray. Even if I have bin (sorry
) without one since June. Since we are now knocking on the door of November and it
still hasn`t appeared I gave them a call this morning. The conversation was, roughly, as follows
Me: You told me that a wheelie bin would be delivered to me in mid-October. It is nearly November now and I have not received one.
Them: Oh. We were waiting for you to reply to say if you wanted a bigger bin to replace the two you had.
Baffled silence from Mort.
Me: I have never had two bins. (suppressed sigh of irritation)
Them: Oh. But our bin monitors say you had two bins when they inspected in August.
Me: I didn`t even have
one bin then. I didn`t even
know you could have a larger bin .
Them: Oh sorry. So do you want a larger bin?
Me: NO! I just want a bin to replace the missing one!
If I am very, very lucky I may get one this week. Or next week. I won`t hold my breath though.
