My old man was a dustman
He wore a dustmans hat
He wore Gor Blimey trousers
And we lived in a council flat
He looked a proppa narna
In his great big ob nail boots
He had such a job to pulll em up
Now he's pushing up the roots...
Oi!!!
He worked for Lewisham council though, so I can't help you cazo!6 -
25 years with RBG last month. In Digital Services so no idea what it's like working for Waste Services. Birchmere is a pain in the arse to get to and the parking is a nightmare (assuming that is where you will be based). T&C's are good, employer does give a shit about employees and it's usually well paid, whatever you do.

I work for RBG too, not for quite as long as Clem_Snide though. I work in Children’s Services. I can back up what Clem says in the last sentence 👍🏼Clem_Snide said:25 years with RBG last month.

I used to work at Greenwich Council in my uni term breaks. They paid well and the people were nice. There are a few oddballs around but that's part of the fun of local government! Still have family who work there. (They're the oddballs).3

In my 37th year with Greenwich.
working in the borough I’ve lived all my life in is such a plus over my sisters who spend 10-15 hours per week commuting from sidcup to town.
always been a good employer to me.
if the dust is still job-n-knock (or even has that mentality), then there’s a massive emphasis on being part of a team.
good luck.1 -
We have Greenwich bin men , always seem happy and very hardworking.0

Over the past 30 years I've lived in Lewisham Borough, Greenwich Borough and now Bromley borough, no idea as an employer but I can tell you the Greenwich Bin men were the best and happiest and always got the biggest tip at Christmas from me!usetobunkin said:We have Greenwich bin men , always seem happy and very hardworking.2 -
One of my biggest regrets was moving to another borough from Greenwich. Was a good place to work.

On the plus side, you'll soon be on long-term sick with a bad back from riding the dustcarts over all the dreadful sleeping policemen day after day.0

Are you good at early mornings @cazo? When my Grandad was on the dust they used to start at 6am, and depending on how far you live from the depot you may need to be up significantly earlier. On the plus side, that meant he was home by lunchtime, although as this was nearly 30 years ago, the shift patterns may have changed a lot since then.

Shout out for binmen everywhere. Ours in Lambeth do a great job and always get a twenty at Christmas for our family0

I used to administer the Payroll at Greenwich for Social Service, Housing and most of Birchmere for about 10 years and genuinely don’t think there wasn’t a colleague that I didn’t like and get on with apart from BDL.6

Don't need sleeping policemen when you've got potholes like we do in New Eltham.cafcfan said:On the plus side, you'll soon be on long-term sick with a bad back from riding the dustcarts over all the dreadful sleeping policemen day after day.0 -

A local site showed a photo this week of a guy sitting at the roadside with his fishing rod cast into one whilst another showed that a local had planted a flowering shrub in one !
Mr F isn't known for his swearing but the air is blue more often than not when we're driving around the area.2
