Party Vibe

I fully agree with what you are saying, but I nearly pissed myself laughing at the thread title (especially when you look at the shortened version from the forum), I had this vision of people dressed up in clown suits (or maybe just the masks/make up) selling crack at parties to avoid being identified :laugh_at::laugh_at:

Tim – is the scrappy talking in terms of Imperial or Metric tons?

I’ve heard that a rave crew that collects and weighs in the cans and nitrous chargers can sometimes recover enough to pay for some of their fuel costs!

the prices MrAHC quote make sense as I’ve noticed a lot more new stuff what would normally be made from higher grade ferrous metals is increasingly made out of aluminium – bicycles, garden furniture etc…

I remember as a teen an aluminium framed bicycle being a premium price item, now most new bikes are made from aluminium rather than a steel frame (apart from sometimes the front forks) and you pay more for a decent steel frame..

TBH that was what I thought and on further investigation it appears that the metric ton (1000kg) is the only one legal for trade these days.

An old ton was 16kg bigger than the metric one (I thought the difference was larger TBH)

what confused me was when I was in high school a 1000kg metric ton was spelt as “tonne”… and a “ton” was the 1016kg Imperial ton

would expect this is due to a different grade of metal -or maybe the paint etc needs to be removed before recovering the metal (increasing the expense of the recovery?)
