I had the 'binmen' round this evening giving out their daft note about Christmas refuge collection dates (saying, for example, there will be no refuge collection on 25th December, like we didn't know that already!). Clearly not an official note and I'm already wise to their antics in previous years. Didn't ask for money, just wished a merry Christmas but clearly the hope is that people will give them a tip - certainly I fell for that the first time a few years ago and they didn't turn the money away! I'm sure we get the same lot each year as they always give out the same sort of note, have the same patter etc. Last year however, we had more than one group trying a similar thing (without the 'note') on another day so the trend is spreading!
