Not a bad find.



And I am not talking about the table cover.

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

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.
