I found a bunch of obsolete shipper container seals at work. Turns out they are .010 aluminum and make rather nice 6.5mm checks.

nice one jeff,so how many can you squeeze out of one of those strips?
If you don't mind me asking,aren't these the property of the company?;-)lol

[JeffinNZ]

Probably six or eight. Not many but what the hey.

Yes, they belong to a container shipping line somewhere. I will be sure to return the remains to them. It's only fair....... ;-)

[yonky]

i think its only fair that you recycle them jeff,after all we all must do our bit to save the planet,and at £1000 a ton scrap price make a bit of cash...........[smilie=l:

[Sonnypie]

They don't look like seals.
Do they eat fish? :confused:

Good on ya, Jeff.
What ever you can get out of them is more than you had before. :veryconfu

Glad to see you "going green" and recycling!

[melter68]

I recycle, take the bottom off beer cans and coke cans, cut in two and flatten with hammer on metal block, get about 10 to 13 checks out of every 1/2 bottom,

After that i recycle my ladies, pass them on

Melter, Yonky your gov officials must have gone to the same tax school as ours here in the States! They all steal from the working man, going and comming, hand over fist! Its a conspiracy I tell ya, to financially break every country and every person. Not religious, no matter. Read Revelation anyway, just for giggles. Cheers

You don't know the half of it my friend,we pay $12 a gallon for fuel,on top of that we have to pay road tax average $150 ,and if you drive into London you have to pay a congestion charge of $15 a day.
We have one toll road that is 27 miles long charges for that are $8-50 whether you drive 2 miles or 27 miles rip off or what.
Of course if you drive a car powered by a lawn mower engine,you don't pay road tax or congestion charges.
At home we used to have one bin,now we have three,one for plastic & glass,one for garden rubbish,and one for paper. As we must all do our bit to save the planet from " global warming" just another excuse to tax us again.
You go on holiday you get charge a fuel tax,if your bags over 15 kgs they tax you for that.But when you sit on the plane you get a fat bloke who weighs twice as much as you do ,but they don't get charged extra.please feel free to chip in if I have missed anything!" land of hope and glory" my ****!![smilie=b:

Well it sounds to me as if you should sell out and move over here.

That might be a good idea,but if your immigration policy is anything like ours,we only let people in who contribute nothing,and take everything,and speak every language except English !
I do believe some of your states are considering congestion charges,on that subject you owe us $5.5 million in unpaid congestion charges!
