Neighbour having a new roof put on his house. The roofer got a roll of flashing out of his van and had unrolled a few feet along some scafold planks. He went back up onto the roof to look at something, and saw the pikey legging it across the road with the roll of flashing. He said it's happened a few times before and the last thing you do is give chase, unless you want all the windows smashed at 3am next day...
A strong pikey to be legging it with a roll of that stuff
What a bloody sad state of affairs this country is in. I could continue but that might take many, many pages.

Only a problem if the pikey lives to tell the tale.
And his mates don't find out where you live.......
Commonest way is to tell the customer it's their problem.
That's not an unreasonable (yearly) amount if you regularly need to dump stuff at the tip.

No problems here. Is your computer working?

That's the cost for the transport licence ... not what you may be charged at the tip.

That's old terminology. In recent years, it has become obligatory to refer to 'problems' as 'issues'.
I think the local council issues the licence so the charge will be dependant on the council concerned.
Thinks, I live in Cumbria but the nearest tip is in Northumberland would a license issued by Cumbria allow me to use Northumberlands tip if not could I get a licence from Northumbria as I'm not resident in that county?
Argh! I hate that.
"Problems" can have solutions or work arounds.
And solutions. Ugh.
And "passionate". I keep seeing a van that claims to be "Passionate about your laundry". I dunno - modern knicker-sniffers seem to have come out of the closet.
Our local supermarket has "meal solutions" written on a placard attached to the ready meal section of the fridge. Now call me daft, but isn't that soup?
Possibly dishwater. Or Guiness.
I thought that was 'only opportunities to grow' :-)#
Yes its the javascript.
Stephen.
So you pay to have a waste licence and still have to pay at the tip.
Stephen.
That does makes sense though.
One of my local council tips ask you for your post code and if you are out of the post code area they refuse you access to their tip.
