Emotion, non-collection and lack of tranquility

Dear Spurtle,

I wrote this in desperation at yet another non-collection of our pre-paid garden waste bins. Does anyone else suffer this lack of 'service', I wonder?

I now have a RANTS file of trying to live with City of Edinburgh Council.

There, that's a bit better. But it doesn't solve the problem as they don't communicate and can't be got hold of. I hope your bins are regularly collected.
