cold, normalweather. i d start even earlier if i could. why is that? i will get through the round quicker and then get back before it gets far too hot. for me, it s been fine because i ve got the air con in the lorry. it s the lads out here that are working. as it s been hot but then some of the residents have been really nice, you know, bringing out cans of pop for you, even some ice creams and stuff, which is was nice. do you drink a lot? do you find yourself having to bring a lot to work? oh yeah, a lot of water, juice. the council s also been prioritising general waste and recycling collections ahead of garden bins, and people have been showing their appreciation. all right, lads, want a drink? how many, the three of you? thank you. all of which helps alan to keep his cool even more. lovely. and sometimes, yes. they ll be back on the rounds again tomorrow, hopefully when it s a little cooler all round. simon hare, bbc east midlands today,
