Skip Hire is the responsibility of the supplier to look after once it has been hired. Or so I was under the nave impression. it was the annual best vegetable growing competition in 3 months. I was looking forward to it greatly.
I had terrible luck last year. The very night before the comp, a fox came and nibbled on my radishes which had the potential to win it! The fox left the raid on the nearby road after realising he didn't like the taste of my prized radishes allowing passing cars to squash them into slush. This was the day before the big comp!
I sought out the help of a skip hire company. I needed a skip hire to help me clean out the old soil, and lay fresh for mouth watering vegetables to grow. I wanted to win for sure this year, so I planned to do all the work myself, but needed to the skip hire companies help in disposing my waste!
I was told the skip was mine for 2 weeks. As my garden and surrounding areas are my pride and joy, I wanted to place the skip on a public highway. I needed a permit for this, but I wanted to win so badly that it didn't really bother me.
A week later my skip was half full, I had been working day and night to get this under way. I figured I may need another skip hire. I was so anxious to get the work finished; I forgot one night to place lighting and cones around my skip, to make road users aware of the fact there was a huge skip in the middle of the road.
I awoke at 1.53AM to a huge bang; I thought a plane had fallen out of the sky. It was only a top of the range Audi, slam dunking into my skip outside! I rushed out to help, dialling the police en route. The driver was still alive! Praise the lord! The superb design of the Audi had kicked in with various gadgets, to save from exactly this kind of thing.
The emergancy services arrived and took the driver away. The next day I contacted the skip company, they said it was my responsibility to make sure the skip was safe for road users. They had provided me with the skip, the permit and the equipment to make sure it could be seen at night.
I didn't win the grand prize, and had to pay for the repair of the \Audi, and pay compensation for his whiplash. Told you I wasn't lucky!
