RossM 7,979 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Had a cleaner at the work granted he wasnt right in the head and it probably was a wee bit wrong, used to bond 50p's to the ground and watch him sweep the same spot for hours, he wasn't that stupid as he always got the b*****d thing! that was funny, almost as funny as watching him collect all the glass bottles and running over to the garage after we had taken all the bottoms out them!

PeakOil 352 Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Coppers that are actual copper get put in a sepatate tin from coppers made out of new fangled cheapo shite. Sir Thomas Gresham taught me Grandpa that. Probably find a couple of quid a week in bits n bobs, all adds up. Found £40 on the floor about 10 years back, not had a paper find since then.
