You go digging around rubbish tips looking for cricket bats? Have we reached a new low?  :o  ;)

It looks reminiscent of an original M&H Distinction in shape.....any clues as to what it began life as??

Come on Toby tell us how you did it?

Did you fine it in someones boot as they was putting some things in the tip?

I was gutted once when I was taking things to the Tip and someone had a new laptop with a broken screen and handed it to one of the workers. Could have been a nice little project for me.

Okay, I do know what it is :)

And so I started working at a new place recently, and one of my mates (who also works there) had found a cricket bat at the tip last year. Who knows why he was there. Anywho, so on my first day I peered around the room and in the corner a XXX2 caught my eye. Being my first day I was to scared to just go up and have a look, so just admired from a far.

So eventually I guess I just annoyed him so much my asking about it that he gave it to me.

Score.

Even low grade XXX's are pretty remarkable.
