    ...except when the council supplies it to the householder, and it's stamped 'Property of XYZ Council' ....

    Well of course. In our county, though, we are not lucky enough to be supplied with council dustbins (and I seriously doubt that the question referring to bins on the items form one fills in when selling refers to council property) and so they are very much our property to do with as we please.

    What do you mean 'Why'?

    Are you seriously suggesting someone wouldnt be a little more peturbed by finding urine instead of olive oil in their cupboard?

    In a bottle with a lid on?

    No. It would just go in the bin regardless and I wouldn't give it a second thought

    After my good news story above; I forgot the bad news about what was left in one house I bought - admittedly in terrible condition; ten bin bags full of dead pigeons and guano in the attic (and I mean attic, not pigeon loft)! And they weren't even in bags; that was down to me...

    Some years back, all the light bulbs. We moved in on the 21st December after 5pm !

    Boiler had faulty switch so couldn't be turned back on.

    Also all the curtains and curtain rails, along with blinds that were supposed to be left had been removed.

    Not the ideal way to spend your first night in a new home.

    You wouldn't find a bottle of urine left in your new house cupboard at all strange? That says a lot about you tbh.

    You misunderstand

    I meant it would go in the bin without me giving a second thought about what was inside.
