I was still in my thirties just!
That reminded me!
He asked if he could have a couple of bolts, I said yes help yourself (to a couple)
By the time I’d clocked what he was doing he’d started filling a carrier bag!
Another thing is the selfish barstool had turned up caked in mud . I pointed it out...
