Else maybe some thieving sods around. Could well have been pikeys who appropriated it from someones garden. Another source of nuggets I've come across, in the past where scrapyards are concerned, are the new boyfriend/husband of some woman when the previous one has passed away. Seems they can't wait to get shut of the original blokes stuff, by any means possible.

Nice find, btw. What type of nick is it in?

Last time I scrapped a car there was at least half a dozen anvils in a heap, I asked about purchasing one and the reply I got was " you could not afford one" in an arrogant manner as he walked away...left me speechless and more than a tad annoyed.

I suspect he had been pestered by the 20 quid gang, his loss cos I had notes in my pocket and was prepared to part with a good few.

I've never thought of looking in a scrap yard for a wife is she well heeled and do the kids come free or did you have to pay extra for those......

I wanted to have a play but I ended up digging out some holes for fencing. Kept finding concrete. One of the perils of living near an old railway line. Anyone need a 9-foot lintel?
