OH MANCHESTER, SO MUCH TO ANSWER FOR. Such as; why have you locked this one bin away from its parents?

Thanks to Foreman for the spot in Fallowfields, Manchester

WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE SPARE A THOUGHT FOR THE BINS?

Normal service has been disrupted by some minor disturbances in London this week, sorry about that. For now, please stand in solidarity for some of our fallen bin brethren.

Cheers Romy, schones first contribution!

OHHHHHHHHHHH VIENNNNNNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH.

YEAH, WE'VE BEEN HOLDING BACK COLLECTING ALL THEM CHRISTMAS TREES YOU JUST CHUCK OUT WILLY NILLY ON THE STREET, SORRY ABOUT THAT.

Anyway, back to business. In a late fashion. Normal service to be resumed shortly.

These are from Vienna, as you might have guessed. Cheers to J Foreman. He's doing the international rounds, make sure you place your rubbish in the bin when you see him about. Cheers.

Bin Brothers: These two were snapped in Bethnal Green, east London. Clearly the silver fella's a local favourite but the orange one has been lumbered with what appears to be a pane of heavyweight glass... jus' sayin'.
