“i can think of many a place to dump nuclear waste, get our troops out of Afghanistan and dump a load there, then do the same in Gaza, Israel and anywhere else where people feel the need to blow each other up! Brilliant plan, plenty of scrap aircraft littering Kemble airfield so load them up, fit them with remote control then crash them into certain areas!”

“Copper is at £4400 per ton making £132000
Steel is at £172 per ton making £20640
Making a total of £152640
The prices are an average of what I got per ton last week whilst weighing things in!
It will most likely venture to C K Beckett in Barnsley who specialize in transformers!”
