RAGBONE!!!!! RAGBONE!!!!

[steinooo]

A few claymores would have done the same thing, and be harder to steal.

VERY good idea..................

Stoke apears to be going downhill.

That suggests there were was a hill to start with

Still get them here every few weeks. My mate was rebuilding his car after having a fight with a tree and lost. Just had a front subframe delivered by Renault and they came and took it whilst he was having his lunch, he wasn't impressed.

Similar story that my mum told me, one of her friends doesn't have a back garden but has quite a big front garden and had a metal bench in it. One day she came home to find it has been taken by the scrap man.

 

[Sone]

my cousin is a rag and bone man, strangely enough in stoke

Money is damn good, works 3 days a week (only about 3-5 hours each day) and takes home about 400-600 depending on load.

 

[al123]

There is one around here. He rings a bell, out of his flat bed transit's window.

 

[Mark A]

Sounds more like ******.

Well, they have pickup trucks full of scrap metal, not sure exactly what determines a rag and bone man from a *****?

 

[Sinny]

Lol I started thinking of some scraggy old man on a horse & cart, I forgot the invention of the motor engine .

 

[4T5]

I'll try and record them next time they come around (probably tomorrow) and see if anyone can decipher what they shout.

To you it will sound like,
"All ear Scrap Iron & Lumber"

We have a guy who drives a small truck looking for old fridges and the like. I suppose he is a modern day version of Steptoe & Son.

wish we did ive got 2 in the garage and 2 large washing machine drums

Go check on youtube for some ***** snatch clips, that explains it pretty well.

at least 3 different ****** where i live. in transit flat beds with wood up the sides to make them hold more toot. They prowl about slowing down when they smell money.

They go through your skips and just nick stuff off peoples drives. Had a plumber do some work and we caught 2 ****** trying to load off our drive some stuff he had just put down out front for 15 mins, they tried to steal all his scrap too (cast iron bath) a day later.

They are proper ***** round here.

Efficient little buggers, if you dropped a coin out of your pocket they'd have it grabbed before it hit the ground.

 

[Kurisu Makise]

not the same bloke? hes been doin my ******* nut in
he came around my street last week 4 days in a row, rag boning it about 3 times each day.

 

[Cosimo]

BRING OUT YER DEAD!

That’s all we need, competition for undertakers.

That's cus hes a theif.

 

[tom_e]

Weve got one who drives round wolves with a air horn shouting "Any old iron" dam annoying after I've been working nights

 

[Luke]

I've not seen a rag & bone man since I was a kid but that was a proper horse and cart job.

 

[Wyrdo]

We have one comes around every so often, he just seems to yell something incomprehensible as he's driving past. We did have him take away an old fridge in the past so that was handy.

 

[cm1179]

we have one come round the street i've moved in to and it's ok with me. removed a tin bath from my house a few months ago, would've been a nightmare to get it to the skip in my car, left it outside and it was gone the next day. saved me a job.
