Cheap as chips (or much cheaper)
« on: 23 November 2015, 21:20:36 »
Had a quote today from a car breaker for my 2002 2.2Dti, works out at about 6p per kilo !
Swimbo tells me that potatoes are about 70p per kilo.

No no no. You're getting confused here. You can't eat an omega and you can't drive a potato.  :)


Unless it's a golf ball sized potato, then I guess you could drive it. :-\

Ive seen Mr Rust eat an Omega under the arches on many occasions, and I saw him drive a potato, I think he was using a wedge see!

Out of interest, can rusted arches ever get bad enough to fail a MOT?

My brother in England , was telling me scrap metal has gone from £70 a ton down to £6 a ton since the steelworks closures. Is that true?

Don't know the exact price of scrap,but it's certainly fallen a heck of a lot.Thought it was because of cheap Chinese steel imports though.

Yes. The arse has really dropped out of scrap.

Upside is that church roofs and phone cables are a bit safer now

That must be bad news if you own an omega.  ;D
