Well you've already got the duck's arse.........so I say......... Go For It!!!  ;)


Wish I could come across a re-cycling centre like you have. You try to touch anything at ours and you get what for!
Then again, probably good that I don't have something like that handy.

That would be the 50s Mart. DA as they called it. It went with moon hubcaps and poodle skirts. Go ahead dig out your old Duane Eddy records.

If you try and pick anything up here they practically put you in jail!

Growing up I loved going to the city dump...we got the coolest things, furniture, etc!!!
