I have a memory of a chap who used to raid skips to keep an old boat going …. he salvaged a rope which snapped during a critical berthing manoeuvre. Would have been much cheaper to buy a decent rope.

My late wife loved a skip (she was at the lower end of the antiques trade). I remember her father giving her advice: “Dig deep!”

I have been clearing out the workshop and leaving stuff beside the bin which is too good to dump. The old boys are never seen taking it, but it all disappears.
