    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!

    Welcome to the Forum. Maybe your experiences would fit in the section - "Day in the life ..."?
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    Hi Mick, already made a start there mate. Just going to throw a couple of posts on now before I go to bed as it's nearly midnight here. I'm looking forward to getting out early tomorrow and picking some decent tools up.

    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.

    Until lately, yes. These days it's become a sport full of cheats and mercenaries who are paid far too much and are out of touch with the supporters. I prefer sports like Mixed Martial Arts now where for a couple of £ you can go to a gym and train with and learn from the guys you watch conmpeting on TV. I enjoy it more as a sport and I like to see hard working people who I can relate to making money and enjoying success.
