• I went to the Lewisham tip this morning to get rid of some crap. There is a rear aksium and an unbranded crabon wheel in the shipping container that is for scrap metal. Both seemed to spin freely and true. No QR on either. I picked them up and the bloke at the tip accused me of trying to steal them pointing me in the direction of a sign informing me that I could not remove anything from the refuse facility. He then proceeded to tell me that had I asked him before laying hands on them that I could have taken them as he is such a generous and kind hearted soul. However, because I did not cross the yard and seek him out first, I could not now have them. A slight remonstration followed, he stood his ground, I went home.

    If you can find a pretext to get rid of something in the Landmann way centre, then you could politely ask permission and bag yourself a couple of wheels.

    NB: to use the facility, you have to prove that you live in Lewisham - I produced my driving licence. A bill will do though.

    Happy skip diving.
