Our binmen are wonderful, possibly the best in Britain (E. Yorks. has the best recycling record) so we leave boxes of biscuits tied to the bin (tomorrow's is all ready to go out) for the week before Christmas.
There is always a cheery wave or greeting when they are on their rounds and they leave a few dog-biscuits on the bin. Now that they have clocked that we are getting-on a bit, they wheel the bin back down the drive to the front door. I can't fault them. Lovely chaps.
