Just seen something today that I have'nt seen for years, had all the windows open due to it being lovely and warm, and as I sat in my dining room I heard somebody shouting 'rag bone', went to the window and there was a young bloke sat in the passenger seat of a pick up, when he saw me he shouted any scrap. Brought back memories I can tell you, only difference is it is now motorised transport instead of the horse and cart, wonder if I would have got a donkeystone for my scrap :)

They've been driving round here for well over a year. We have had 4 different ones so far this week.
I thought the same when I first heard one all those months ago. 2 of the ones round here have a recording that they play far too loud. Gets a little annoying when it is almost daily! :shock:

Rag bone men have horse and carts, they do not have pick ups, and they so do not play recordings. :roll: Obviously not proper rag bone men. What is the world coming to :wink:
