Alcoblog Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I'll leave it to speculation, but deffo wasn't me. My guess is that it was changed to prevent 'ribbing' for the 'typo'(s) I can't imagine anybody being mean enough to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcoblog Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Anyway, in answer to the OP's now amended thread … 'Yes', the scrap-men will take anything you leave outside, be it wanted or not. Only the other day, did I leave outside some spare fissile materials in the black, plastic wheeled confinement chamber outside the kitchen door laboratory, not just for safe keeping, but also a last ditch attempt to stop my hair falling out … spare uranium, plutonium, that sorta thing. Next day, not only had the confinement chamber been moved to the front of the facility … it was empty! It's not that easy to get this sort of stuff, so, naturally, I'm quite annoyed. I reported the theft to the police who're apparently sending out an armed response/tactical unit (complete with the helicopter ) team today. Good to see they take this sort of theft so seriously.

Blackbeard Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Don't think so Pete, they will just put the wire in a bonfire and burn off the plastic. The scrapmen will take owt. Your council is thinking about your needs "Cable burning to recover metal This is the burning of metal cables to remove the plastic insulation to allow the salvage or recovery of the metal beneath. Cable burning is an offence unless authorised as a scheduled activity under the Environmental Permitting Regulations 2007." https://www.sheffield.gov.uk/environment/environmental-health/pollution/air-pollution/commercial.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geared Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Some yards might not take burnt wire as well, it could have been stolen and the identifying plastic burnt off to disguise that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxy lady Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 We have removed a lot of used cables whilst removing a floor in our house If I put it out on drive will the scarpmen take the cable? They'll take it if you leave your front door open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
