Plastic screws in an estate agent's pole which I found lying around Middle Lane on my way back from Sainsbury's this morning. Somehow the sign had become detached from the pole, so I thought I might appropriate the latter, a surely useful eight feet length of two by two. Free with the pole came these two plastic screws, the sort of thing that would be made of galvanised steel when I was young and would have been made in the far north. Whereas these fakes were probably made somewhere in the far east - but quite probably quite good enough for fixing the sort of plasticised corrugated something which they make the signs out of.
A bonus on the way back was getting permission from a householder down Manor Green Road to raid his skip, presently containing quite a lot of rubble from smashed out brick work. From which I should be able to abstract some entire bricks and clean them up, our own stock of bricks, useful from time to time, running a bit low. Just as well that he was very relaxed about it, as I had already had two on my way back from Costcutter. One being as much as I want to carry 500 metres by hand.
Reference 1: http://psmv4.blogspot.com/2019/12/third-report.html. A recent outing for some of our bricks. PS: the rubbish which had accumulated in the sump leading to the soakaway, important on that occasion, has now been removed. No idea whether it was part of the problem.
