Certainly dustmen prefer to be known as "Reuse Collection and Disposal Officers". You may think that this is rather
36 , and it is better to call a spade a spade. But dustmen can be as
37 as people of any other occupation, though we must
38 that their job is not a
39 one in the world. We often take dustmen for granted. Perhaps because they usually come very early in the morning, before most people are

41 .Our dustbins are
42 regularly, but we
43 stop to think about the men who do this. However, it is one of the most important jobs in the world, and when there are no dustmen to

50 it. Even Leicester Square, in the heart of West End of London, was
51 high with plastic bags full of smelly rubbish. This was a(n)

54 dustmen rather more
55 and won't take them for granted any more.
