I had to write in praise of our much-maligned dustmen. I had forgotten our collection day had changed and was dismayed to see the dustcart go hurtling up the road without my rubbish, which I should have placed out the front. Imagine my surprise when a friendly dustman appeared around the back just to check on my bin. My dustmen are great! Well done, Sita.
