about 5 years ago, i was mooching round a car boot and i came across a stall with a load of fishing bits, feeders,floats all kinds o stuff,im not into fishing so i rang my mate and tells him what there is and the bloke wants a tenner for a box full, my mate says get em, he'l have em, so i give the bloke a tenner and asked him could i leave em there while i carry on mooching and il pick em up in a bit, after about an hour, i went back to the stall and the bloke says ive put em in that banana box there for you mate,so i picked it up an put it in the car and went home,after about an hour of being home i decided to look exactly what was in the box, i opened it and inside was a royal doulton full tea set i was going to go back but thought, roles reversed, would he would he feck, and i stuck it in the attic,where it still is

Mate of mine made a killing buying old kimonos, saris etc, and getting them refurbed a bit and selling them on. In the end he was getting lots of old silk kimonos sent over from japan.
