JacksDaddy Introduction

Hello, I've been lurking on here for a few days leeching information and thought it was time to register and get involved. Hopefully I can contribute something useful, even if I'm pretty new to all this and just a learner.

I'm currently working as a Taxi Driver in Liverpool, England. I need about £4,000 to pay for a course that will qualify me to apply for the job I want to do and as I am the Father of a One Year old Boy saving is very difficult. That's why I've started scrapping. I've got a couple of experiences of scrapping, but maybe they would fit in better in a different part of the forum.

Thanks for all the advice I've already taken on board and be lucky!

I think that's what they were commonly known as years ago, but these days 'Scrappy' seems to have replaced it.

The term 'Rag and Bone Man' always conjures an image of someone pulling a cart up and down a cobbled street in a plagued city calling ''Bring out yer dead!''. I don't know if that's where it came fromoriginally, but that's what I've always thought.
