Some may have noticed that I am trying to find a couple of knobs, one
for a cooker the other for a fan heater.

Doing our bit for recycling down at the local tip, my Lady Wife noticed
that there were some cookers there for recycling.

Being an open and honest sort, she asked if she could take a knob off
one of the cookers.

"Sorry", she was told, "nothing allowed off site".

Which makes a mockery of recycling, but is presumably an edict to stop
people justifying nicking stuff with the connivance of the staff.

Moral - next time I shall shout "Gordon Bennet - that seagull is more
like a vulture" or something equally stupid to distract these guardians
of the unwanted whilst herself helps herself.
Or we may send in an undercover snatch squad :-)

I am assuming, of course, that there is no monetary value in the
plastic knobs on scrap cookers.

Sigh - a few years back you were allowed to take or buy useful bits
that others had thrown away.

Cheers

Health and safety, are you sure the knob your wife wanted was going to
be safe and not possibly a faulty knob that could cause untold harm?
You can never be too careful with the knobs down at the council tips.
