John52 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 ... due to scrap metal prices being in hard currency instead of Brexit crash pounds. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-49767195 I was surprised as when I weighed some old car batteries in (50p a kilo) the local scrap dealer wanted several forms of ID and would only pay the money into my bank account. But apparently these laws are not being enforced so some scrap dealers are still paying cash with no proper ID checks as before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumpstart Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 There are two local to me and basically you have to be registered with them with account details ,vehicular reg. etc....Bound to be some “old core” who don’t give a toss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barryd999 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Never mind that. Scrap dealers pay for old knackered batteries? I have a garage full of old batteries and ups units. Must be tons of em! I've been meaning to take them to the tip. I'm rich beyond my wildest dreams!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I had to do the same when I scrapped my bargain banger Rover 600 ;-) ............ Maybe you are just "scrapping the barrel" for anti Brexit Bullsh*t ? >:-) .........

If there was an EU country more dodgy than England why would the illegal migrants be coming here? So by you're usual, to put it mildly, eccentric waffling, when migrants decide which country to go to, they do their research and select the most dodgy? Not all illegal migrants end up in the UK. They settle in many other countries, didn't you know that? It would appear then that many other countries must be dodgy as well. And is it only England that's dodgy? Don't they go to Scotland, Wales and Ireland? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstly, why then did so many of them settle in Germany, Austria and Scandinavia? You seem to be under the Illusion that only 'England' is their destination. You also don't appear to know one of the main reasons why some of them prefer the UK. You claim to have spoken with them. I presume that you don't speak Arabic or Somalia? There's a clue there if you had the brains to work it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
747 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 The gentleman is correct, many of them play the 'long game'. Stay in a suitable EU Member country, get citizenship and then they can legally settle anywhere they like in the EU (or elsewhere if they want to). They will be even more upset than you John52 that the UK is leaving the EU. But they will not be whining as much. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a clue there if you had the brains to work it out. I'm talking about the ones in France trying to get to England illegally. And they spoke English. You can't get more straight from the horse's mouth than that. But you still think you know better *-) There was also a French Police Officer at the sharp end on TV who said you English need to sort out your black economy. But you think you know better than him as well. Where are you getting this sh*te from? - the Daily Mail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
