Day 3.309: Talking trash?
I may have mentioned it before, but the trash collection is done by one man in a truck here. He doesn't have to get out of the cab. This is how he does it.
Talking of videos - I just noticed that the audio-swap finally completed on the last one I posted. Feel free to enjoy the leaf-pile removal all over again!
they have grabby bin collecting machines here, but they need two blokes on the ground running around lining up the wheelie bins so the lorry can reach them. we therefore get the best of both worlds - loads of jolly bin men running all over the place being busy and technology
This is how to really fix the sound on the leaf-pile vid: http://bennyhillifier.com/?id=fRaP-2rJBt4
ReplyDeleteThat's great (and much easier than YouTube's audio-swap feature)!

ReplyDeleteTrue - we do lack jollity and the (proabably necessary) instructions can be a bit daunting for new arrivals!
