0 a person whose job is to empty people's dustbins and take the rubbish away: --
The council has just had 238 applicants for one binman's job.
He started as a paperboy, then a dustman (or binman) and later an assistant manager at a supermarket.
He was a binman for ten years before deciding, at the age of 40, to become an actor.
He then worked as a binman, waiter and hod carrier and therefore entered the game relatively late.
During his teenage years he worked as a binman, waiter and hod carrier.
Might it have something to do with the latest pay increase for teachers, clerks, binmen or whoever?
To be honest, I think I was happiest working as a binman for the council.
The old cliche that a healthy society is one in which a binman's daughter could grow up to be the prime minister ignores the fact that only the truly weird would nurse this aspiration.
