an increasing
number of municipal tips will either allow you a discreet bit of foraging
or (more commonly now) they sell all the good stuff seperately nearby -

Our local tip has lots of signs saying "No Scavenging" but we still do it
as do lots of others.

(ahem) me too.
apparently the signs are for legal reasons - once you've read that you're
not allowed to forage, then you can go ahead & do so when nobody's looking
g

And, if you can't find what you want, you put in an
order with the tip attendant and he usually produces it next time you go
there.

it's quite a service!
i rather thought the tip should combine with that "men & sheds" thing
someone is trying to get up - one of their projects could be
restoring/making things out of all the good stuff!

My husband gave his bike pump away to some dopy Dutch tourist who had a
flat at our front gate (miles from the nearest garage and with no puch
bike pump on her bike). It took 2 weeks for the tip attendant to produce
a pump, just after my husband had bought a new one.
