Get a copy of the rules of engagement and study them, brandish them, challenge their
interpretation, go to council meetings and drag out the sessions with prepared questions (try to think of answers they may give and phrase your questions on this basis) get the local paper to turn up but try to find out their political leanings first  |
We put out some cardboad in a recycling box on Friday and the men refused to take it because some of it was hanging over the side of the box,
it will stay there until they collect it. We'll be on to the council tomorrow morning and if we get no joy we are going to get on to the local paper. The trouble is these men are not employed by the council now, it's all put out to contractors.
