Timewarp Again Again

I forgot another one last night:

10. (9's in a comment) I had a few things out the back of the house for the local authority to take away to dump (including an old TV that Minnie was using as a seat). Well, yesterday they came, and took it all away - but they did too efficient a job and took away the garden bench that the TV was sitting on (despite being told by the woman in charge of them NOT to) and they took away a really old sack barrow that wasn't quite antique, but was probably upwards of 50 years old.

They took them direct to the dump, and have gone on holiday for 3 weeks now, so there's no way to get them back.

So, if any of the family had a hankering for that sackie barrow, it wasn't my fault!
