No they're not.
Anon: In Tokyo, you can’t have a car unless you have a space to park it. They have very narrow streets and the cars are quite Mickey Mouse, because the Japanese are also quite Mickey Mouse. I saw the most amazing thing there; they have little cranes and they lift the cars and park them on the roof. You could put wheelie bins on the roof.Perhaps. How far would you take your opposition to the bins?
Joa: I would campaign against it.
Anon: I don’t believe you.
Joa: I would!
Anon: She wouldn’t campaign for anything. She’s just pretending like everyone in Primrose Hill. They’re all pretentious.What else is wrong with the area?
Anon: There are too many women with babies. I think I’d rather have the bins than the mothers with the babies. All these babies – heavens above – it makes you wonder what happened to the condoms! It used to be a very nice, simple place here. Now all the shysters who have money come here and pretend. It’s full of crap. That’s why I moved out. Who's that woman who was rude to an Indian woman on Celebrity Big Brother?

Yes. She used to come here in her Bentley convertible to get her hair done. She got cancer, the poor thing. But she was vulgar, terribly vulgar.

I’m not sure.Would you die for the cause?
That might be pushing it a bit. I'd maybe chuck a brick through the council window, or something like that.Yeah, fight the power!

Oh really? Why? Because of wheelie bins' reputation of being a bit chavvy? That chavs might wheel them along?What? I have never heard that before.
Yeah, I think it's just a very silly, upper-middle class paranoia.

Oh yes. Jamie Oliver lives down the road. You don’t see much of him. He always says hello when you see him, though.Oh, OK. Do you know what Jamie Oliver thinks of the wheelie bin issue?
I haven't asked him, but he’s got a big back garden and he's knocked two houses together. He does a lot of advertising, so he'd probably like it.Right.

I’m all for people campaigning for what they believe in, but there are better topics than a few wheelie bins, to be honest.
Kevin: I agree. They’re concerned people, but there are a lot more things to be concerned about. Libraries, child poverty, speeding through the streets and issues that involve people suffering are all far more important, in my opinion. We really must go to our exercise class.OK. Have fun.
Is this a student thing?No it’s for VICE.
Okay, well good luck with your student project.


I think there are people who would like to climb the political ladder by doing that, yes. They want to get into Parliament.David Miliband lives round here – what do you think he thinks of bin-gate?
He'll say whatever is most popular; the man’s not a fool. His family has been through a lot of rubbish. That wasn’t meant to be a pun, by the way.Ah, it would have been a fantastic one if it was. What’s in the average Primrose Hill bin?
Oh, mostly Champagne, wine bottles and takeaways.Yeah, it's a poverty-stricken area round here.Previously - How Much Would You Sell Your Virginity For?
