I have this office.

Which has a lovely waste-paper basket.

Sadly, the cleaners keep putting a disgusting plastic liner in it.

When I ask them not to do this, they tell me:

'The plastic bag makes it easier to empty you see'

But when I tell them :

'I don't care how hard it is to empty. I am your employer, and I have to look at the bin all day long. It is a nice bin.'

They simply walk away, laughing that I simply don't understand.

We've sacked quite a few of them recently.

But all the new ones are the same.

Can someone tell me what is going on here?

Or do I need Jane Goody to explain it to me?
