'Dad, you're like a gyppo!!' Oh yeah, as to your 'stash' I'd say value = two bob and a pork pie!! Edited July 16, 2022 by shaaark 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stavross 16,100 Posted July 19, 2022 Report Share Posted July 19, 2022 Where I’ve been working they have just pulled out the tank and some copper pipes and I took the garage down and put all the lead flashing to one side, the lad said to me do I want it or should he just put it out for the scrap lad, anyway I took it, is it worth my effort taking down to the yard? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
