Now I’ve got friends in Cardiff, and have enjoyed many a night out under the city’s bright lights. It’s a place I’d love to spend a weekend break, touring the town and soaking in the city’s atmosphere.

So I was shocked to see this image recently, allegedly snapped of a disgruntled customer unhappy about the prices he found from other skip hire companies for skip hire prices in Cardiff.

But surely their skip hire prices didn’t warrant this kind of behaviour?!

OK... so admittedly this probably isn't actually from Cardiff...

The TopSkips.com team just couldn’t believe their eyes last week, when pulling up to this unbelievable skip left by a customer who had ordered skip hire in Prestwood.

And as if the gondola guy and sight of Mona Lisa peering over the rim of the skip weren’t enough, the kid diving in to pilfer whatever he could took the biscuit.

Who knew Prestwood contained so many treasures…

Following the recent Cheryl Tweedy post, the entries have been flooding in again to our long running “Things I Wish I Found In A Skip” competition.

And the prize of being entry #238 goes to a customer from the Reading area – acutally he was looking for a Caversham skip when he called us.

Drum roll, Bruce Forsyth, dancing girls, plleeassse…:

Things I wish I found in a skip #238: NOTHING.

Pardon?

Well, our Caversham customer happened to be a skateboarding fanatic, “not bragging you know but a bit of a pro” he reckoned, and alerted us to the reputable art of Skip Skateboarding. Can’t do this in a full skip.

Check it out!

Some people have too much time on their hands...

Another installment of our long running “Things I wish I found in a skip” series!

Thanks to a day-dreaming wishful thinker who called up earlier today re skip hire in Ambleside. Not the most urban of places Ambleside, is it really, so this young gent might be forgiven for having a slightly disjointed sense of reality.

So here it is – drum roll please…

Things I wish I found in a skip #237: Cheryl Tweedy!

Aw, Chezza is gorgeous isn’t she. And apparently now knocking around with an American dancer named Derek, after Ashley Cole left her out in… the trash… Huh. Although as far as we know he didn’t find her in a skip…

Being unabashed skip aficionados, whenever most of us in the office go visiting new places we always take an interest in the skip activity in the town.

I was over in Arnold in Nottingham this weekend, and much to the dismay of my wife, found myself doing exactly that. For those of you that don’t know, Arnold is a region of Nottingham to the North East of the city boundary. It’s in the wider local government borough of Gedling.

Now, some cruel people in the past have said that not a lot happens in Arnold. That’s not true. I have family there and it’s one of my favourite places for spending a quiet Saturday afternoon. It was even mentioned in the Doomsday Book.

We’ve got a great Arnold skip hire depot out in that direction. It’s a really friendly bunch of guys always ready to go the extra mile to get things done professionally and keep our customers happy. I’ll be paying them another visit next time I’m in Arnold.

Hiring skips in Crawley is easier than you might think.

As if Channel 4’s institutional tea time show Countdown didn’t have enough going for it already! If we weren’t so committed to delivering round the clock nationwide skip hire, the TopSkips.com office would be deserted by 4.15pm every day, we know, with staff scrambling to get out and in time for the show’s opening titles.

So when the amazing Rachel Riley joined the show at the beginning of 2009 we literally couldn’t believe it. Carol Vorder-gone!

What is even more of a coincidence for this post, is that maths bod Riley is a resident of swanky Southend, having attended Southend School For Girls in her youth. And the Southend depot called us up this morning asking us to remind you all about our brilliant skip hire offering there. For skips in Southend on Sea – although we have definitely not had the chance to ask her – we reckon Rachel would get the maths right:

A confession.

The boss has asked me to write about our great offering for skips in Peterborough. Now normally when we mention our skip hire abilities in some part of the country, we try to give a deserved mention to the merits (or de-merits sometimes) of that part of the country – it’s only polite.

But the confession – I hardly know anything about Peterborough!

Without meaning brazenly to display my utter ignorance about a very important part of the United Kingdom, here, in a list, is what I know about Peterborough:

- It’s flat
- It’s not all that far from Cambridge
- Didn’t the football team used to have Barry Fry as a manager…?
- Oh, and don’t forget – there are some amazing skip hire deals going down there at the moment!!

Just call us on 08445 60 77 10 – FREE – to find out just how amazing those deals are!

As huge fans of the Henley regatta, the TopSkips.com team really love dispatching Henley skips.

Well, before last year that was. Now we have to admit a bit of hesitation. You see, the following week after the regatta, we had a skip returned from Henley with none other than a full sized racing rowing boat protruding in two parts above the sides of our skip. It had clearly been unceremoniously dumped into the trash by one of the losing teams – now that’s not good sport is it…

We wanted to write a post about our the great range we have available at the moment of skips for hire Nottingham. And we wanted to mention Nottingham without reference to a certain tree-inhabiting fellow with a bow and arrow.

But we just couldn’t do it!

This still is from the skip hire scene of the old movie, eventually cut from the final take. Just look at how happy Errol Flynn is with his skip hire experience. And that’s not even starting on those merry, merry men…

Er, sorry Nottingham for another Robin Hood bad cliche joke. If you just want a skip in Nottingham though – call 08445 60 77 10 for one of our expert advisers – don’t delay!
