Do the guys on the tip still make a tidy little extra on the side?

I used to know a guy, some years back now, his family had the concession to a tip. He sold once a week on Rochester market. He reckoned to holiday twice a year on a cruise, all from what people had thrown away. I once bought some drawings off him. Later sold to a gallery in Bond Street, & are now in the Tate archive.

Oh god yes. Now more than ever. A good tip is a license to print money.

Scrap iron and non-ferrous metals are making a silly price atm, not to mention antiques, collectables, and the occasional bit of tomfoolery.

I thought that was "antidisestablishmentarianism"

I'm warming to philopatry, if only I could find a way of slipping it into convo. Leave it with me though, I'll return to it.

You'll probably manage it if you tell us the golf course story....

Well it's not in Chamber's so I reckon you've made it up.

The suffix "philo-" means a love of something bit as for "patry" well unless it's patris/father I'm a little lost....

It was in Ducks Unlimited! You can't argue with DU.

But I've googled it now, & yes, it's a proper word, though from where derives remains a mystery.

It's not confined to avian species though. Grasshoppers do it too, maybe humans, too?

Someone has loaned me a book with some wonderful old pics in.

This one shows the ultimate indignity, a wagon that has lost a wheel after springing a lynch pin. Not a common occurrence, but it did happen now and then.

You need to act fast here. First, straighten the lock, (If it turns now, the wagon could tip over) then chock the wheels, then find the lynch pin.

Here, a man holds back the horse while a boy clings to the bow to fend off the branches that threaten to knock the stove pipe off.
