So, I've been perusing the sister botherers' message boards to judge their mood ahead of Sunday and they refer to us as 'Binners'. Anyone have any idea why they do this? |  |

Think our pitch -before it became used for football - was used for rubbish disposal.
Or it has something to do with an old episode of Lovejoy.
Either way, historically a canary has only been useful when dead, so balls to them. |  | | |

Apparently all Norfolk refuse/recycling workers support Ipswich rather than Norwich, the budgies get very upset about this. |  | | |

Some binman in Lovejoy was wearing a town cap and it started from there.
Hilarious. |  |

...the late Warren Clarke was the dustman. Sporting a Town baseball cap. Spoke however in a broad northern accent? You can source the episode still on UKTV/Play. Called 'Bin Diving' |  |

Played by the normally effective Warren Clarke, that episode was one of his few off days but, rather like a Ginafranco Zola backheel resulting in a goal against them, they chose this as one of their few golden moments. |  |

Much more imaginative than the "scum" label, granted. |  |

I thought it was because some Town lads gave a bin a kicking at Carrow Rd a few years ago, then put it on facebook. |  |

I always call them 'inbreds' myself. Calling them scum is to good for that lot up the road. |  | | |

They can't even come up with an insulting nickname without it being tinpot. |  |

Presume "scum" is in the upper echelon of insults then? | |

This is exactly what I thought until I saw someone reference the Lovejoy thing a year or so ago. |  |

Back in 2002 or 2003 they used to try and stir TWTD up with the Binner thing and couldn't understand why they usually got a reply along the lines of 'Quite like binmen, very useful people' before they slithered off or someone called Ghostbusters. Not sure if it was a re-run of 'Lovejoy' around that time that started it off or whether it had been around pre-web (just) in the 1990s.
Nowhere near as amusing as the 'proctologist' wars. | |
