I always used to think that the hiring of a skip was the reponsibilty of the supplier to look after once its been hired. In 3 months time it was the annual vegetable growing competition. I couldn’t wait, I was so excited by this!

Last year I had the best radishes, when a fox came in the middle of the night, and dug them all up, took a nibble, realised he didn’t like them and so flung them to the side, where passing cars crushed them into a slushy juice. This was the day before the competition! My luck left a lot to be desired.

So this year I decided to start early, and create a disposable fence to keep out the ragamuffins, and them to unveil dramatically my hard work and beauty. I wanted to win so badly I decided it would make a better impression if I did all the work myself. So I went about finding a skip hire company. I needed a skip hire company to provide me with a builder’s skip, so I could shovel my old soil out, and lay fresh, nutritious particles for my vegetables to flourish.

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.

My skip soon got half full, I had been busy all day and all night to get my prized possessions looking like I wanted them to. I was so keen to get the work done, one night I forgot to place cones and lights around my skip to make road users aware of it. After all there was a huge skip in the middle of the road .

Boom! Jesus..i awoke with a t start. The clock read 1.53AM! What had happened? Being a star trek fan, I immedialty though aliens had landed on my house. I wish! It was an expensive car diving head first into the side of my skip. I quicky rang the emergency sevices, and rushed out to see if the driver was ok. thankfully he was, the audi’s superb interior had saved him.

the driver had no major injuries. He was taken to hospital, just to be sure, and I returned to my bed. First thing next moring I rang the skip hire company. Apparently it was my fault completely, as I houdl have made sure I had placed the relevant safety feature sthey had provided, every night.

So just to prove my bad luck, not only did I not win the competition, but was left with a huge repair bill, and a compensation claim from a dazed business man. Drat.
