Crap You Find in Fertiliser Bags

[cquick]

Spreading some urea the last week, at the end I found an empty fag packet and a nice stainless bolt.

Anyone else seen any random stuff in their fert?

That would have been useful going through the vanes! Fortunate that the grille was just small enough to stop it.

Fascinating. Where are Manchester ciggies sold? Being devil’s advocate, I suppose is the equivalent of glass, rat droppings, soil and other extraneous material that, allegedly, is delivered into human consumption flour mills!

No but I once found 12 shillings in a load of Barley, Hammer mill made a mess of one half crown.

A cricket ball.
It looked like it had done several overs but was perfectly useable.
Had at least one game with it.
Would absolutely love to know how it got there.

Don’t recall anything more exciting than lumps of fertiliser

I found a half eaten chicken drumstick.

They come from Middle East, Africa and far east

A police raid on a local farm for an unlicensed shotgun drew a blank. Contractor weeks later spreading fertiliser had a load of shotgun cartridges fall out into the spreader. Luckily he noticied otherwise who knows what would have happened.

Manchester cigarettes are manufactured almost entirely for smugglers. They are only legally available in a few middle eastern countries, but are smuggled into high duty Western countries in huge amounts:

I picked an empty fag packet off the pavement outside my snooker club on Sunday. This was more exciting than it sounds because they were Manchester cigarettes. I had never come across this brand in…

The cigarettes that worry tobacco firms

Tobacco companies warn smuggling could rise if the UK removes branding from cigarette packets - when Australia did this the biggest rise was in sales of brands known as "illicit whites".

Always a dried out worm, in every bag.

No idea why.

Bit like the worm in a bottle of Mezcal !

Took delivery of 200 tons of urea a couple of weeks ago. Second load had four old bearing casting The boxes for the new ones and a new fuel filter. A small casting made it into the auger and rattled its way into the bin. Something to look forward to come spring.

Round two. At least the fags are legal this time

Found the handle of a bucket in some today.

I pity the poor Egyptian who was filling tonne bags with a 10lt bucket!
