Empty Skips
If you needed to get rid of some rubbish, and there was an empty skip not
far from you.
Would you dump your stuff in it? ( When its dark of course)  |

BTW I think filling other peoples skips with your rubbish is a Scottish thing.... They are too tight to pay for their own  |

Well not quite a dumpster, I think those are jus' the big metal bins we have those two, but there usually for commercial purposes, residentially we have wheelie bins
p.s. I heard the scots were to lazy to find an empty skip and jus' put it in their backgarden?
p.p.s. I'm half-scottish so i can make a comment like that and not have come-back  |

uhhh... well, most of us call it a toilet, some call it the throne, the can, or that kind of thing. as for the dumpster/skip thing... a dumpster is a large steel trash bin. what you refer to as a skip is also referred to as a dumpster here. |
