A friend of mine runs a recycle center and he has just been shipped out to RUSSIA to buy a load of old batteries ,
Probably of a old submarine and probably radioactive lol
But there must be some good wedge in it

think thats bad, at work we give a 15 quid surcharge on cats and then sell them for 50 quid

we CHARGE customers to dispose of batterys,,,,, and sell them on too !!!

the pikey tipper vans are ALWAYS about these days too so be warned, they been taking bus stops and railings round my way !!!!

oh and nicking cats too,,,, which means we sell them AND get another 15 quid anyway due to no old unit !
