RAGBONE!!!!! RAGBONE!!!!

[Vix]

On the estate I lived on up North there was a bloke who went round on Thursdays - not sure what he was shouting but I assumed he was the 'rag and bone' man.

Being old, I do actually remember when they had horses and carts - was obsessed with horses when I was little so used to wait for them coming when I was staying at the grandparents. Grandad said they used to give people goldfish in exchange for scrap!!

Next thing we'll be hearing that the Salvation Army brass band still comes round the streets on a Sunday morning.

I had never noticed a rag and bone man in my area but within about an hour of putting an old fridge and some scrap metal outside my house (ready to take to the dump) a rag and bone man asked if he could have them - i think they take a more subtle approach these days.

Weve got a guy doing it in my area, always comes quite early, has a bugle his kid cant really play while he shouts "Any old iron?!" over and over. If I did have any old iron id likely use it to smash his bloody bugle to bits.
