Speaker 2: to go and do something my dad. Obviously this is

4
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:11,719
Speaker 2: going to date this to a very different time. Were

5
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 2: simply going to the tip.

6
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:16,280
Speaker 3: Oh best way to bond with your father, Yeah.

7
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,080
Speaker 2: To go and look through some mankey, old rat infested rubbish.

8
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 2: I absolutely loved them. When my kids were younger, they

9
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 2: also used to love. When I saw it, I need

10
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:25,760
Speaker 2: to go to tip, They go, please can we come?

11
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 2: And you would go and rummage around, and you would

12
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 2: come back.

13
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 3: With stuff you were searching for treasure.

00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 2: Yeah.

15
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 3: We used to bring old ball home, soccer balls, foot

16
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 3: that sort of thing, not like now where it's all

17
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,239
Speaker 3: very clean. You back your car up and dump it.

18
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 3: You could walk around it, couldn't you. Well, Sadly now

19
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 3: our local tip has no rummaging sign, not even the

20
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 3: fun out of it, exactly.

21
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 2: I also remember are One. They had their own sort

22
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 2: of shipping containing. You know the people, the tip people,

23
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 2: they're like their own sort of you know what I mean.

24
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 2: They run it tight, don't they. The tea people they

25
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 2: don't like muggles turning up. They never used to like

26
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 2: us rummag around because they where my local world want

27
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 2: to grow up. They had their own shipping container right

28
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 2: where they would have their tea breaks, and they wouldn't

29
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 2: like you peering in because they had like computers in

30
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 2: and that they found the primo stuff they kept for themselves,

31
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 2: like sofas and stuff of that really good stuff. The

32

Speaker 2: rest of it was up to us.

33
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 3: So you think it's they're stopping us from rummaging now,

34
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 3: not for safety, but because they want all the goods

35
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:19,360

61
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 2: the early sort of stuff before us.

62
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,200

66
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:47,840

00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 2: So it's like the scene out of the Castle, I think, Melissa,

Speaker 2: Thank you very much you call. I have a nice weekend. Cheers,

76
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 2: thank you, Steve. Good morning, Hello about Steve. What have

77
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 2: you found at the tip?

78
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 6: Well, we backed up our trailer to throw the rubbish

79
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 6: in and looked down and there was an electric guitar case,

80
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 6: and the guy there said, oh, you can have it

81
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 6: if you want, because my son's guitar might have fitted

82
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 6: in it. So the son jumped down and grabbed it

83
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 6: and came back up and said, no, there's something in it.

84
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 6: And when he opened it up there was a Washburn

85
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 6: electric guitar copy in it.

86
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 2: What a great find.

87
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, we still play it, still got it.

88
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 3: What if I someone was thrown out a way, or

89
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 3: if it was an accident.

90
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 5: No idea all our game, that's for sure.

91
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a great find, Steve, thank you very much

92
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 2: to call him. I have a nice weekend. Now we've

93
00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 2: got Dawn here. This is an interesting one, Dawn.

94
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 4: You find at the tip, I found a box of

95
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 4: old letters and stamps and things from World War Two,

96
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 4: but recently, during COVID, I've tracked down the family that

97
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 4: wrote these letters and I sent them back to their

98
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 4: family in Scotland.

99
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 2: This sounded like the intro to a sort of podcast

100
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 2: that I would listen to. This that was perfectly delivered.

101
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 2: You told the story so.

102
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 5: Well there, Oh, because I'm nervous.

103
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 2: No, you did it really well. So what happened then?

104
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 5: How did you track them down on Facebook, would you believe? No?

105
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 5: W on Facebook?

106
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 2: Did it take long?

107
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 5: About a month? But there was this family, there was

108
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 5: six of them. Some didn't talk to the others, so

109
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 5: they said, you have to contact them, And then I

110
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 5: finally found the one whose mother it was.

111
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 2: The have been so emotional to be reunited with some

112
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 2: of all those artifacts.

113
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 5: Oh well, let's face it. If I had letters from

114
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 5: my mum written to her sister, I'd love to read

115
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 5: what they used to say. And that's what I thought

116
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 5: i'd do, and that's what I'd done. It was about

117
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 5: forty letters in total.

118
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 3: How long had you kept the letters for.

119
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 5: Fifty years?

120
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 3: Fifty?

121
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:14,039
Speaker 5: Yeah? Because they were just they had beautiful stamps on

122
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 5: them and they were beautifully written. And I'm a bit

123
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 5: of an order and a collector. But now they've gone

124
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 5: back to their right plone.

125
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 2: I'll tell us this. Obviously you read through them.

126
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 5: Right, we all would, Oh I did I did?

127
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 2: What did you? What did he learn? What did they say?

128
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 5: They were one sister really missed the other one? But

129
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 5: the most what the part that really got me was

130
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 5: during World War Two because my dad was also a

131
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 5: pilot during World War Two and how the bombs were

132
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 5: hitting and killing people, and she said, you are so

133
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,239
Speaker 5: lucky in Australia that you're not getting what we're getting

134
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 5: over there.

135
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 2: Wow, that's like a moment in history that was covered that.

136
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:54,039
Speaker 2: That's incredible.

137
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 5: It was, and that's what I thought. You give back

138
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 5: to your family, you do.

139
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 2: But fifty years later, as say, you can have it

140
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 2: on the next like a hundred times now thinking most

141
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 2: of the family died out the next generation better than never.

142
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:15,799
Speaker 2: You're quite Yeah, Dawn, thank you so much your story.

143
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 2: I love that. Dawn, have a nice wee can.

144
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 5: God bliss bye, Thank you.
