That's what I really meant vis a vis the scrapheap in Scrapheap
Challenge. Specialty items useful to a particular program wouldn't
likely be in a "normal" scrapyard. But hey, they have to make
them serendipitously available otherwise the teams simply couldn't
complete their tasks. Fire engine without a pump ? Hmmm, not
impressive

I'm tormented by the jumbo bin full of fluorescent light fittings
and steel tube I saw down the road last night. Yes, I could
drag it all back here but..................enough's enough I think
