having a bit of a tidy up of the old mans machinery and we have 2 of them, one in excellent condition.
Seem to remember they where the crem de la crem of wafflers.
Hoping to get a couple thousand each now there vintage !

You'll be lucky. Joking aside haven't seen one of them for years. Last time I used one must have been 30 years ago.
Seem to remember most of them were used as gates at the end of their useful lives

The last tidy, complete one I saw sold made £180. Maybe try again next decade

2000 pence maybe !

seem to remember the auld man wouldn't see past it, the greatest thing for drying hay.
Used to be great fun as young loons trying to coup it on its back but was never fit to lift it back up again and the auld man can daft with us
Might scrap the worst one and keep the good one, you never know in 20 years time it might be a nice little earner for the pension pot

Dad bought a cock pheasant on a whim at a roup a few years back to go with the old Leyland. Seems to be in working order- Dad even painted it bright blue and red. Haven't used it yet- guess we've just a pimped up wuffler.
