Grandfather's Fury as Binmen Refused to Walk 18 INCHES to Collect His Wheelie Bin

grandfather today launched a scathing attack on council binmen who refused to walk 18 INCHES to collect his green waste.
Under council rules wheelie bins must be within one metre of the kerb before they are collected.
