OK, so this morning Was funny (though I can say that looking back on it; this was not my reaction when I woke up!)
I arrived home yesterday to find a skip outside our house. Our cottage looks onto the back of shops and this one electrical shop is closing down so has placed a skip on our road so they can dispose of rubbish from the rear of their shop. It was pretty full and so I went into the house muttering under my breath how inconvenient and inconsiderate it was for them to put it there.
Anyway I was lying in bed last night about 11:30 and could hear this rummaging and scratching outside. It was pretty chilly last night so I didn't want to get out of bed to investigate and eventually fell asleep (with thoughts that someone was trying to break into the house but that's by-the-by!)
I woke at 6 this morning to the same noise again and when I opened my blinds I saw this guy practically in the skip fishing DVD players, video recorders, cable boxes, vacuum cleaners and whatever else he could find out of the skip. There was cardboard and polystyrene all over the road. He placed them all in a pile, put his bag on his shoulder, picked up his can of Stella Artois beer and headed up the road. I was dumbfounded! It felt like we were in civil unrest and these people were looting! Bonkers as it had rained for most of yesterday and all of the electricals were soaking wet!! As I said I found it unbelievable at 6am but just can't stop laughing as I sit here now! Hope I'm not woken this evening!!!!
