During the war a popular saying was " when seagulls fly towards the sun a dog will stop barking" I have often wondered if this ties up with the economy today, after all a sinking ship will only take on water if it is at sea. Looking at previous threads I am of the opinion that scrap metal is found mostly at scrap yards thus causing a sharp decline in the dollar against the pound. Does anyone else see this as the answer or should we seek guidance from the aztecs. Wasnt the wind strong the last couple of days.

following your inspired thoughts as to scrap being found in scrap yards, in reality it ends up there, it is usually found elsewhere and then taken to the scrap yard so it can rest with its kith and kin happy in the knowledge that some kind hearted do as you likey or thieving git has been amply rewarded for an act of kindness in bringing it to the yard and returning it to it family, luckily for those contented finders & movers of scrap the rate of the dollar, peso, euro or mongolian tugrik against the squidly diddly is of little or no importance only the rate per tonne, personally even though I am not a do as you likey or even these day a thieving git, I am happy with lifes little pleasures and content to keep the old peepers out for the odd bit of lost metal that needs taking to a good home,

Hi Lopster, I used to keep clods and they can be very lonely. I found that sitting them on small blow up balls enabled them to bounce around. I called them clod hoppers. Alternatively you can feed them earth which they adore but they tend to indulge and you end up with clods of earth. By the way Mickey Boy my parents were in the iron and steel business, my mum used to iron and my dad used to steal. Boom Boom.
