A council is to consider a request for a Ratepayers Command performance for Pete Yeats

A council is to consider a request for a Ratepayers Command performance for Pete Yeats and his five swinging dustmen. Some householders want Petes team to call twice weekly instead of once. Not to empty dustbins - but to get rid of that Monday morning feeling which can cloud any day of the week.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from January 1967, we catch a glimpse of the unique request that has stirred up quite a buzz within the council. The image showcases Pete Yeats and his team of five swinging dustmen, who have become local legends in their own right. However, it seems that some forward-thinking householders are seeking to elevate their status even further. The ratepayers' audacious proposal is not for these diligent men to simply empty dustbins twice weekly instead of once; rather, they wish for Pete's team to banish the notorious "Monday morning feeling" that can cast a shadow over any day of the week. This unconventional idea aims to bring joy and upliftment into people's lives by eradicating those post-weekend blues. As we delve into this intriguing snapshot frozen in time, we witness an era where occupations like being a dustman held significance beyond mere waste disposal. These hardworking individuals were seen as more than just employees but as purveyors of positivity and happiness. While the council deliberates on whether or not to grant this extraordinary command performance, one cannot help but marvel at how seemingly ordinary tasks can be infused with such profound meaning. This photograph serves as a reminder that sometimes it takes unconventional ideas and brave souls like Pete Yeats and his swinging dustmen to challenge societal norms and brighten our everyday lives.
