Had a brand new shed, load of block paving, a potters wheel, an entire set of Britannia encyclopaedia's, an old Nintendo and super Nintendo, a hayter lawnmower which cost £1600 new in full working order, just needed a belt tensioner bearing which cost around the £50 mark. a pair of gates 14 foot wide made out of some hardwood that is dearer than oak, were made to order but were ordered wrong size, was told they cost the owner over £3000. nearly 400kgs of lead. amazing what some people throw away.

And proud of it! :grin:

Nah not really a pikey, I only take out of skips after asking, I don't go round in the middle of the night and help myself to everything in the garden even if it's bolted down. :wink:

yeah it where i work. They have about 70+ hdtvs . There so easy to fix and they just put it in a skip .Cant wait for the next one to die.  :evil: The skips like a gold mine, even pikeys come and check it everyday. But as i work there ,they can just have metal. :smug:
