    The only place name in the UK which is an anagram of wanker. Just
    thought I'd point that out. No inference is intended.

    No, but I am a little surprised what folk are prepared to pay for old
    tat.

    I was contemplating a trundle up the tip last weekend, but stuck a
    load of old Kwak rubbish on Ebay instead. £157 and counting.

    Madness.

    You know, I've lived 25 miles up the road from Newark for more than 48
    years, and I've never realised that.
    I've learned something today.

  6. Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, DR
    You might be able to get a spare at the Wanker Autojumble.

  7. I've discovered this when breaking bikes. It generally takes three weeks
    for a bike to disappear totally. Stick all the stuff that you know is in
    the want up in the first week. You know, straight forks, decent
    calipers. good tinware and paint, working reg/recs etc.

    Second week is the less desirable stuff - maybe wheels, the less good
    cosmetics, other electrical stuff, instruments, switches.

    Third week, put everything you've got left (which generally isn't much -
    often just a bare frame and some other bits) in a pile, stick it up at
    99p, and let someone bid it up and buy it. As you say, it saves having
    to take it down to the tip.
