Made me laugh.
Many years ago when I was much younger and stronger I went to one of these with my uncle and cousin, they had one that was anything you can carry out for £5. I think it was up Blackburn way but I wasn't driving on that day, my cousin had a Chevette with a front end crunch and it needed panels, there were many of them in that yard and we cut off a set of front panels to take. I put the front panels across my shoulders like a milk maid carrying churns, it felt very light to me and so, we loaded it up with loads of stuff, starters, alternators and anything we could until I was starting to buckle at the knees. In the end we had hundreds of pounds worth on my shoulders and I carried it to the gate, my cousin was paying and the scrapyard owner was almost crying as I carried it out for £5, he was trying hard to tell us it wasn't what he meant when he posted the advert but, he was stuffed.
