Here's an interesting story from my latest episode of Carry On Land Rovering. On Friday I was off work and started a bit of a clean up round the house and garage. I went to the tip, moved a lot of stuff to better storage places including bits of the landy. I found quite a bit of old steel that I wanted rid of so rather than lug it to the tip I thought about contacting our local scrap fella. He does everything via Facebook and as I don't use it I got my wife to message asking when he was going to be in the area so I could put the scrap out the front. I carried on with my chores and sorted out the shed. When finished I checked with her indoors and still no word from scrap man so thought that it was a job for another day. Went to the garage to discover that the landy's bonnet that had been at the garage door was missing. The buggers had got the message and thought that they would come round straight away. Didn't knock or say hi, just nabbed the bonnet. Some panicky calls later and the lads arrived back. I was sure it would be dented and battered but I got away with it. Some scratches on the paint but that's all coming off anyway. I was in the back of the van quickly though as when he started to retrieve it there was a lot of scary banging about. It's just another bit of scrap to them after all.
