0:00:01.520 --> 0:00:04.800
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to them Christian Non Show podcast.

0:00:05.160 --> 0:00:07.000
<v Speaker 2>When I was a kid, right well, of the highlights

0:00:07.000 --> 0:00:08.960
<v Speaker 2>to go and do something my dad. Obviously this is

0:00:09.200 --> 0:00:11.719
<v Speaker 2>going to date this to a very different time. Were

0:00:11.760 --> 0:00:13.000
<v Speaker 2>simply going to the tip.

0:00:13.440 --> 0:00:16.280
<v Speaker 3>Oh best way to bond with your father, Yeah.

0:00:15.920 --> 0:00:19.080
<v Speaker 2>To go and look through some mankey, old rat infested rubbish.

0:00:19.320 --> 0:00:22.239
<v Speaker 2>I absolutely loved them. When my kids were younger, they

0:00:22.280 --> 0:00:24.040
<v Speaker 2>also used to love. When I saw it, I need

0:00:24.040 --> 0:00:25.760
<v Speaker 2>to go to tip, They go, please can we come?

0:00:26.000 --> 0:00:27.880
<v Speaker 2>And you would go and rummage around, and you would

0:00:27.880 --> 0:00:28.400
<v Speaker 2>come back.

0:00:28.240 --> 0:00:30.080
<v Speaker 3>With stuff you were searching for treasure.

0:00:30.160 --> 0:00:30.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:00:30.600 --> 0:00:32.720
<v Speaker 3>We used to bring old ball home, soccer balls, foot

0:00:32.880 --> 0:00:35.000
<v Speaker 3>that sort of thing, not like now where it's all

0:00:35.120 --> 0:00:37.239
<v Speaker 3>very clean. You back your car up and dump it.

0:00:37.440 --> 0:00:40.080
<v Speaker 3>You could walk around it, couldn't you. Well, Sadly now

0:00:40.240 --> 0:00:44.720
<v Speaker 3>our local tip has no rummaging sign, not even the

0:00:44.760 --> 0:00:46.360
<v Speaker 3>fun out of it, exactly.

0:00:46.440 --> 0:00:48.720
<v Speaker 2>I also remember are One. They had their own sort

0:00:48.720 --> 0:00:51.120
<v Speaker 2>of shipping containing. You know the people, the tip people,

0:00:51.520 --> 0:00:53.199
<v Speaker 2>they're like their own sort of you know what I mean.

0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:55.320
<v Speaker 2>They run it tight, don't they. The tea people they

0:00:55.320 --> 0:00:58.040
<v Speaker 2>don't like muggles turning up. They never used to like

0:00:58.120 --> 0:01:01.200
<v Speaker 2>us rummag around because they where my local world want

0:01:01.200 --> 0:01:03.280
<v Speaker 2>to grow up. They had their own shipping container right

0:01:03.280 --> 0:01:05.440
<v Speaker 2>where they would have their tea breaks, and they wouldn't

0:01:05.480 --> 0:01:07.520
<v Speaker 2>like you peering in because they had like computers in

0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:10.600
<v Speaker 2>and that they found the primo stuff they kept for themselves,

0:01:10.640 --> 0:01:13.400
<v Speaker 2>like sofas and stuff of that really good stuff. The

0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:14.520
<v Speaker 2>rest of it was up to us.

0:01:14.560 --> 0:01:16.880
<v Speaker 3>So you think it's they're stopping us from rummaging now,

0:01:16.959 --> 0:01:18.840
<v Speaker 3>not for safety, but because they want all the goods

0:01:18.880 --> 0:01:19.360
<v Speaker 3>for themselves.

0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:21.480
<v Speaker 2>They want all the good stuff. Yeah, so this morning

0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:23.399
<v Speaker 2>we want to know what did you find at the

0:01:23.440 --> 0:01:26.560
<v Speaker 2>tip on nine four one four one four three. This

0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:29.759
<v Speaker 2>is a brilliant story from Emma Christian. My brother used

0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:33.800
<v Speaker 2>to drive an excavator to the tip. It was unbelievable

0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:35.960
<v Speaker 2>to think, so, well, did you just used to just

0:01:35.959 --> 0:01:38.399
<v Speaker 2>shove it all home and then go through it at home?

0:01:38.800 --> 0:01:43.679
<v Speaker 2>That's insane hashtag straya. Most of it was brand new.

0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:47.240
<v Speaker 2>His prize possession, This is incredible. His prize possession he

0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:49.720
<v Speaker 2>came home from the tip with was a red velvet

0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:52.120
<v Speaker 2>recliner chair from gold class.

0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:54.680
<v Speaker 3>Oh oh well, what was that? Even in the tier?

<v Speaker 2>What did you find down the tip? Melissa? Hi, Melissa,

0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:06.840
<v Speaker 2>what did you find down the tip?

0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:10.000
<v Speaker 1>It's not myself, it's my husband.

0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:13.360
<v Speaker 4>He's the garbage truck man.

0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:14.560
<v Speaker 5>You know, he drives the truck.

0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:16.440
<v Speaker 1>He comes home with.

0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:19.120
<v Speaker 5>A lot of things all the time. He's come home

0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:21.160
<v Speaker 5>with smokers.

0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:26.520
<v Speaker 1>Tools, basketballs, bikes, fish, tak bikes. Yeah, just push bikes.

0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:28.600
<v Speaker 2>This is like inside of trading, isn't it. He's getting

0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:30.400
<v Speaker 2>the early sort of stuff before us.

0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:32.200
<v Speaker 3>I'm sure that the bike has been put out for

0:02:32.240 --> 0:02:33.960
<v Speaker 3>being collection from.

0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:45.959
<v Speaker 2>The back people. So he's like a serial offender in

0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:46.560
<v Speaker 2>this then.

0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:47.840
<v Speaker 5>Oh definitely.

0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:49.440
<v Speaker 1>This week he came home.

0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:50.040
<v Speaker 4>With a mulcha?

0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:56.800
<v Speaker 2>Now do you are you looking for a mulcha? Melissa?

0:02:57.520 --> 0:02:57.960
<v Speaker 4>No?

0:02:58.080 --> 0:02:59.919
<v Speaker 1>I tell him to stop, no more.

0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:00.600
<v Speaker 4>I've had enough.

0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:04.560
<v Speaker 5>And it's just he's a regular offender.

0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:08.000
<v Speaker 2>So it's like the scene out of the Castle, I think, Melissa,

0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:11.040
<v Speaker 2>Thank you very much you call. I have a nice weekend. Cheers,

0:03:11.120 --> 0:03:15.440
<v Speaker 2>thank you, Steve. Good morning, Hello about Steve. What have

0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:16.920
<v Speaker 2>you found at the tip?

0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:20.640
<v Speaker 6>Well, we backed up our trailer to throw the rubbish

0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:23.799
<v Speaker 6>in and looked down and there was an electric guitar case,

0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:27.320
<v Speaker 6>and the guy there said, oh, you can have it

0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:30.080
<v Speaker 6>if you want, because my son's guitar might have fitted

0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:32.960
<v Speaker 6>in it. So the son jumped down and grabbed it

0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:34.840
<v Speaker 6>and came back up and said, no, there's something in it.

0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:37.280
<v Speaker 6>And when he opened it up there was a Washburn

0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:39.880
<v Speaker 6>electric guitar copy in it.

0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:42.440
<v Speaker 2>What a great find.

0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:44.720
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, we still play it, still got it.

0:03:45.240 --> 0:03:46.920
<v Speaker 3>What if I someone was thrown out a way, or

0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:48.280
<v Speaker 3>if it was an accident.

0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:52.160
<v Speaker 5>No idea all our game, that's for sure.

0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:54.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's a great find, Steve, thank you very much

0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:57.720
<v Speaker 2>to call him. I have a nice weekend. Now we've

0:03:57.720 --> 0:03:59.680
<v Speaker 2>got Dawn here. This is an interesting one, Dawn.

0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:02.840
<v Speaker 4>You find at the tip, I found a box of

0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:06.320
<v Speaker 4>old letters and stamps and things from World War Two,

0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:10.560
<v Speaker 4>but recently, during COVID, I've tracked down the family that

0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:13.520
<v Speaker 4>wrote these letters and I sent them back to their

0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:14.760
<v Speaker 4>family in Scotland.

0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:18.240
<v Speaker 2>This sounded like the intro to a sort of podcast

0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:22.040
<v Speaker 2>that I would listen to. This that was perfectly delivered.

0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:23.360
<v Speaker 2>You told the story so.

0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:26.400
<v Speaker 5>Well there, Oh, because I'm nervous.

0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:28.960
<v Speaker 2>No, you did it really well. So what happened then?

0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:32.960
<v Speaker 5>How did you track them down on Facebook, would you believe? No?

0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:34.080
<v Speaker 5>W on Facebook?

0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:34.880
<v Speaker 2>Did it take long?

0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:39.479
<v Speaker 5>About a month? But there was this family, there was

0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:41.960
<v Speaker 5>six of them. Some didn't talk to the others, so

0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:43.839
<v Speaker 5>they said, you have to contact them, And then I

0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:46.479
<v Speaker 5>finally found the one whose mother it was.

0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:50.240
<v Speaker 2>The have been so emotional to be reunited with some

0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:51.520
<v Speaker 2>of all those artifacts.

0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:54.720
<v Speaker 5>Oh well, let's face it. If I had letters from

0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:56.680
<v Speaker 5>my mum written to her sister, I'd love to read

0:04:56.680 --> 0:04:59.520
<v Speaker 5>what they used to say. And that's what I thought

0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:01.719
<v Speaker 5>i'd do, and that's what I'd done. It was about

0:05:01.960 --> 0:05:03.320
<v Speaker 5>forty letters in total.

0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:05.080
<v Speaker 3>How long had you kept the letters for.

0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:08.600
<v Speaker 5>Fifty years?

0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:09.400
<v Speaker 3>Fifty?

0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:14.039
<v Speaker 5>Yeah? Because they were just they had beautiful stamps on

0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:17.080
<v Speaker 5>them and they were beautifully written. And I'm a bit

0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:20.160
<v Speaker 5>of an order and a collector. But now they've gone

0:05:20.160 --> 0:05:21.159
<v Speaker 5>back to their right plone.

0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:23.440
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell us this. Obviously you read through them.

0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:25.480
<v Speaker 5>Right, we all would, Oh I did I did?

0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:28.839
<v Speaker 2>What did you? What did he learn? What did they say?

0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:33.279
<v Speaker 5>They were one sister really missed the other one? But

0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:36.840
<v Speaker 5>the most what the part that really got me was

0:05:36.920 --> 0:05:39.440
<v Speaker 5>during World War Two because my dad was also a

0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:43.840
<v Speaker 5>pilot during World War Two and how the bombs were

0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:46.120
<v Speaker 5>hitting and killing people, and she said, you are so

0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:49.239
<v Speaker 5>lucky in Australia that you're not getting what we're getting

0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:49.760
<v Speaker 5>over there.

0:05:50.720 --> 0:05:53.480
<v Speaker 2>Wow, that's like a moment in history that was covered that.

0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:54.039
<v Speaker 2>That's incredible.

0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:56.080
<v Speaker 5>It was, and that's what I thought. You give back

0:05:56.120 --> 0:05:57.520
<v Speaker 5>to your family, you do.

0:05:57.480 --> 0:06:00.839
<v Speaker 2>But fifty years later, as say, you can have it

0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:04.800
<v Speaker 2>on the next like a hundred times now thinking most

0:06:04.839 --> 0:06:08.960
<v Speaker 2>of the family died out the next generation better than never.

0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:15.799
<v Speaker 2>You're quite Yeah, Dawn, thank you so much your story.

0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:17.719
<v Speaker 2>I love that. Dawn, have a nice wee can.

0:06:18.120 --> 0:06:19.920
<v Speaker 5>God bliss bye, Thank you.
