Just a Little Breeze
Posted by westfield on April 8, 2009
It’s a lovely day outside with just a light wind. So you can imagine how vindicated I felt when I heard a clatter from my neighbours front door. I got up and looked out to see that their small Grey Bin lying across the pathway. The breeze came from the wrong direction and because it was empty it blew over. What would have happened if it was dark and the middle of the night? My neighbours are pensioners and they do not have rear access to their garden. Should the worst happen and they have a fire, their only route for escape is through the front of their house. If God is on their side they will escape but as NLC are not they will trip over the fallen bin, just because there was a light breeze.
Therefore in order to ensure their protection I have recommended that they enrol at Broadwood Stadium for hurdling training.
I wonder what Strathclyde Fire Brigade would make of this?

I don’t think strathclyde Fire and rescue would have an issue. After all their Station Master at the public meeting was either sleeping through the first half of the night or has little to no idea of the real issues that the public were raising on the evening. To make the comment of “why would you want your bins at your front door” was an unintentional support to the point that we were all making and was met by derision by all attending except the top table guests and ‘independent’ Chair.
