Weekends are for leisurely pursuits. Options

Lovely spring like morning and the incumbents of Tup hall decide to undertake some garden tidying . All goes according to plan including meeting our green responsibilities by cramming the waste into the shooting brake and setting sail for the re-cycling facility at the top of the hill .
Then the fun started , the queue of traffic into the site started at the entrance off the dual carriageway , ( shades of Pinchington lane eh ) , 20 minutes later the car was reversing on to the bay ,2 minutes more and I was off loaded and on my way home but not before observing the reasons for the delay. This has nothing to do with the otherwise excellent resources or the helpful staff ,who would, I am sure , rather be at home on a Sunday , no it's the intellectually challenged patrons including two who were involved in deep meaningless conversation alongside their empty vehicles and another who was wondering around chatting on the ubiquitous mobile ,
Now before someone suggests that this posting should be in the rant section I tend to agree , but it might just prick the conscience of anyone who may be guilty of the pre- mentioned .

Yes, saw the queues as I headed into town around midday and felt pity for those people who have no choice but to go there on one of the first decent gardening Sundays of the year. We can go during the week and can honestly say that we've never encountered any significant delays on what seems a well designed site, certainly far better than the old one or that one at Paice's Hill, which was often closed. Bad luck, old chap

I don't think it is that well designed. Queuing for the main bins, one cannot see when a bay becomes, or is, empty. The people that work there don't tend to usher cars to bays like they used to.

This is true. I queued for 10 minutes (not complaining about that bit - I think that's very good compared to the old days!), waiting to see a car pull out so I could pull in. When I did there were 2 or 3 empty bays!

However, I have usually found the staff to be helpful.

Yes, the staff are always polite, but I wish someone would conduct the cars to the bays, this would help when it is busy.
