A binman in Daventry, East Midlands, was left shocked after his colleagues played a hilarious prank on him on April 7,

Martin Fretter filmed the prank as his son patiently waited in a bin before sprinting off right as the unsuspecting binman was about to take it away.

"I found an abandoned bin and set to work, my youngest son Nathan, 12, claimed in and waited for about 15 minutes and I started filming to put on our work group chat," Martin said.

"A small Southbrook council estate in Daventry went worldwide viral in hours my friends love it and my workmate said it brilliant, I’m so glad I’ve been able to make so many people happy with a small video in these dark days!" he added.
