Mick H found it while walking a mates dog (he didnt even have any bins !)
quite comical at first, 4 of us there with one pair of bins to share
Unfortunately JBee insisted we use also use a pair of what appeared to be old opera glasses he found in his car
first time weve ever had to take turns holding a dog lead at a twitch !
Hope JBee posts the photo i took with his bazooka :eek!:
