Two blokes in a transit pickup came round the estate yesterday, noticed the skip opposite and took all the metal and bits of electrical cable which means metal prices must be on the up again.
Oil meanwhile, peaked at $70 about a month ago and now seems to be going down again.
Well judging by the number of people who have had metal taken since Christmas, I think you are right. Rather worryingly they must also have got around the permit problems in order to get rid of the stuff for hard cash as well.That was one regulation which has been working well. Brian
I saw a bit on that '£1 houses' program last night where they had their cast iron gutters stolen whilst the scaffolding was up. ;-(
Funnily enough, I ran some lead acid batteries in just 1/2 an hour ago and the money was sent straight to my bank account.
(I got 65p/kg OOI?)

What do you expect, thieves to supply their own scaffolding ! ;-)
An interesting program, I think part 2 is next week.
I do think it;s a little unfair for the council to state that if they don't like what work has been carried out then even if you've spend £50k on doing it, you'll lose the mnoney you spent, no wonder the council see it a s a win-win situation.
