Happened to notice a new build going up and dump some goodies in a
skip as they are just doing the snagging. Managed to get around 50
brand new, 7 newton blocks. Movin that lot certainly burnt a few
calories! Theres still more in there, but imagine they'll be gone by
the time I go back!
A couple of years ago I managed to find a skip near a commercial
build which had around 6 bales of shrink wrapped soundpoofing
rockwool slabs.

My best trophy from a skip-dive was Garrard 301 turntable - but I had
a client once who came in with a Selmer Model 22 baritone sax he'd
pulled out of a skip in Notting Hill....it was covered in brick dust
but otherwise unharmed. Finding something like that in a skip is
rather like finding someone has dumped a Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost in
your back garden.

As in taking it is theft?

FFS what is wrong with you?

Yes, technically its theft, but in reality its not. The crime is throwing
away perfectly good items that could be reused.

Is doing 32mph in a 30 limit speeding? Is stopping on a yellow line for two
minutes a real offence? Does anal retentive have a hyphen?

What colour is the sky on your planet?
