There's a nuuter on a flatbad touring the estate shouting 'brass, iron!'.

Anyone in Sheff - lock you gates up!

    There were never any rag and bone men in Stafford until about a month ago when I saw one wobbling down the road piled high with Apollos, fridges and other 'scraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap eye-unnnnnnnnn'. He obviously told his mates because we get at least one a week now. Unbelievable that there are so many shonky bikes about =]

    Wish he'd come round mine, I've got about 100 kilos of scrap steel and the same again of scrap ally out the back from junking motorbikes, but I'm too scared of the man at the scrapyard to go and weigh it all in, he looks like he's half wolf .

    We have started getting them around Derby now too, used to get them all the time growing up in brum. Can be very handy to have, and the horn they play occasionaly cheers me up. No idea why... :?
