Steptoe and Son?

Sounds like the British version of Sanford and Son.

I remember that story a couple years ago when the garbage pickers thought they found a bottle of perfume but it was a nerve agent discarded by hitmen of the Russian state, novichok I think it was? The woman died iirc. This was In London.

Kinda put me off trying garbage picking for life.

- pic is of Harry H. Corbett and Wilfred Bramble - as Steptoe and Son - who were in a TV series about 2 Rag and Bone men -

- When I was a nipper - back in the 60's growing up - we had 'Rag and Bone Men' - who would be out on the streets shouting - 'Old Iron - Lumber - Rag and Bone!' - most of them would be out in a horse and cart for collections - and they would take away just about anything - a family relative was one of these rag and bone men - and we used to go and play in his yard - amongst piles of cloth/clothes and rags -

My youth! CHOM CHOM CHOM!

SING IT, BROTHERS!

"The stone that the builder refused
Will always be the head conerstone
The stone that the builder refused
Will always be the head cornerstone
You're a builder, bay-bay
Here I am, a stone
Don't you pick and refuse me
'Cause the things people refuse
Are the things they should use
Do you 'ear me, hear what I say?"

Sanford and Son is an American sitcom television series that ran on the NBC television network from January 14, 1972, to March 25, 1977. It was based on the BBC Television program Steptoe and Son, which had its original broadcast run in the United Kingdom from 1962 to 1965.

- There are quite a few British TV series that were copied and reproduced with American actors in the USA - 'The Office' is quite a recent one that comes to mind -

Cockie's Gate

Cockie's Gate

Here's a wire gate made from wire and a few sticks from the bush. Saved AU$100 making this.
I 'm shit with wire so it's not as tight as it could be ... and that post needs to be be fully sapped-off yet.

Called a Cockie's Gate because farmers are often called 'cockies' here after the cockatoos that are everywhere in the bush just like farmers are ...

I got kicked out of the dump and had my sticker taken away for taking an old sliding screen door to be repurposed. I let it cool of for a few months and went back. Had to promise to behave my self and they gave me another sticker.

I follow a silver sub on Reddit and people regularly dumpster dive behind goodwill stores, looking for sterling silver, "costume jewellery" and other valuables that gets disposed of. Having had to do community service many years ago for possession, I can attest that so much stuff comes through the doors, split section decisions need to be made on what to keep and what to get rid of.

No no Bud! You're thinking of Galahs! Y'know ... Australian slang for a 'klutz'. We say 'bloody galah' when someone does something stupid.
(for members unused to Aust/NZ language: Galahs are a type of cockatoo ... except when they're a stupid human.
