And the Winner is.....

We were chatting away at work today about the rash of award ceremony shows on television. You know the ones I mean, Oscars, BAFTA's, Golden Globe etc,and I thought, how come it's always actors that get these awards for just doing their job? They go along to work, making a film, get paid handsomely for doing so, and then expect an Oscar 6 months later. It doesn't happen to the ordinary Joe in the street.

You've got roadsweepers, dustmen, cleaners, a multitude of ordinary people doing ordinary jobs out there and do they expect an award at the end of it? Just a job well done from the boss, a rise and an extra weeks holiday a year would be nice, but not an award, eh!

You can just imagine it though-

"Here we are at the RCA's,(Refuse Collectors Awards.) 2004

And the nominations for best kept Refuse truck are,

Crew 7, Scunthorpe Environmental Service.
Bert Brocklebank, driving the truck called Dennis.
and finally
Smelly Alan and his crew from the Big Yellow Hopper.

And the winner is........"
