I’m old enough to remember the rag and bone man who used to come round every so often with his cart. I know this makes me sound Victorian, but I’m only 52. I know how to use a computer and everything.

@swisslet The scrap metal man still comes around here, complete with unintelligible announcements, although they're now from speakers.

West Bridgford might be too posh 😉

@derbadian we have someone in a van who will take anything metal that isn’t nailed down. He doesn’t ask, but I suppose that’s the modern equivalent.
@swisslet @derbadian We've had stuff nicked from our back garden by one of those.
