General wheelie bin nightmare

[lee gagg]

Well guys last week i had a nightmare woke up to find next doors neighbours wheelie bin had blown over into my 2.4 didn't at first notice any damage so thought phew but later after my lunch went outside in the sunshine then i saw it a groove about 3 inches long or so in middle of back wing.Well not had car long and its spotless for it's age well after ffffing and blinding i thought right ill call the council as bin was empty and the bin men never put em back properly they said i had to take it up with my neighbour.

Well i only lived here a month so i goes and knocks his door old chap called Bert nice bloke, well i know it wasn't his fault just one of them things really.Anyway we came too a gentleman's agreement and we went halves on the repair i took it too chips away on the Stafford road in Wolves and it cost £94 for the removal of the dent/crease and i must say what a job they did would well recommend whoever the dent guy is there did a fantastic job so from now on im more careful about where car parked and the dreaded wheelie bin.

Well I must say, your neighbour must be a saint. If that happened to me, I would persue the council. You pay your council tax, they leave the bins lying around on a windy day....down to them.

We had monster high winds where I live and I was running around the street putting peoples bins into shelter to aviod any damage to cars. I had two people knock on my door to thank me, but I explained it was the bloody council that should have done this.

Fortunately both mine and my other halfs car remained unscathed.

Good bloke that Bert.

Well it's good to hear a happy ending!

You people in England are so nice to each other compared with us. I can't imagine such a resolution here. The wheelie bin would have been chopped into little pieces and replaced with a nice big black bag (we only have wheelie bins for garden rubbish here).
