It's Sunday! I'm up early as our bedroom is currently five thousand degrees.

Happy Father's Day for those celebrating. Happy International Picnic Day for those that aren't.

Pop in for a chat.

Out of interest, did you get a reasonable scrap price?

I was talking to someone the other day that said they got nearly £1k for theirs. Last time I scrapped anything (years and years ago) I had to pay them to take it away because scrap prices were so low.

I got about 10% of the value I paid for it 11 years ago, and it was 10 years old when I bought it, so I'm not unhappy with that. I also scrapped a Ford Focus about 8 years ago and got about £35 for it! So yes it seems that breakers are now paying more reasonable amounts than in the past.
