At my (second) cousins scrap yard, looking for car bits and bobs. He used to run a metal scrappy so i asked him if he knew where i could get a piece of steel approx half inch thick, three foot wide and six or 7 feet long. He looked at me strangely and shaking his head and smiling he says "no you cant have that, i need it there, thats where the lorries turn and they keep wearing away a hole in the ground". I had no idea what he was on about, but i followed his gaze and lo and behold, I am standing on a piece the same dimensions that i just asked for. He'd never believe me in a hundred years that i didn't know it was there!
