He got too heavy for it and sold off his tip treasures to get a Harley.

Certainly does look like mine I hope you can put it right as I could get quite a speed up on my trusty tricycle. Not to worry though, mum says she'll get me a trundle truck for Christmas

Is that thing actually workable or just an ornamental paper weight - either way I'm impressed.

A couple of years ago I read a piece in the press about a bin man from down south some where. He had started on the bins in the sixties and had opened a bin one day and a set of medals was at the top. As his dad had served he thought it wrong that these should be trown away so he took them home. Over time his mates came to know of this so if they found any they would pass them to him. Often in the proverbial biscuit tin with badges of different sorts.

At the time of writing he had come to the attention of local historians and they where helping him sort out what he had. Interestingly he had never had his interest in the stories of these medals and badges sparked. He just thought it was wrong to throw them away.
