BC Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 (edited) Maybe carrier bags are worth collecting after all ;D Someone paid £ 21.57 for this one. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/250950545192#ht_500wt_1069 Edited June 5, 2012 by BC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leakeyvale Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Ooer! Frankly I would not have given 21 pence for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 Well Sue maybe my collection of carrier and hessian sacks will have some value after all ;D I know who bought that bag but I suspect he bought it for someone who has a large collection of Field Marshall tractors and also one of those Marshall's on the bag.

Valley Axe Man Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Morning Bill and Sue, From what i remember at Lanark 2011 Bill you should have a full portfolio of G&M bags!!! ;) Every time i looked over balconey you were heading toward the front door with another bulging bag!!! hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 (edited) Yes Lanark does tend to be a fairly expensive weekend model wise Paul but its a show which has models, real tractors and real lorries so its a great show for me. I don't quite know who many G&M carrier bags I would have Paul but there must be a few. Even if my carrier bags sell for £ 1 a bundle at my roup that will be 100% profit ;D Some of the ones from Lanark Edited January 29, 2012 by BC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valley Axe Man Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 But they do have their uses though Bill, how else can you carry 3 tractor models, a bacon butty and open the door at the same time! bags is handy to have, but hell if you sell up then this time next year you could be a millionaire!!! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a small world indeed!! :) I have been down to the Castle Douglas shop a few years back in fact the Spring of 2008 Paul when I got my Leyland model wheel rims repainted in the correct colour of silver instead of cream. Gosh that was a harsh task trying to convince BFA Leyland wheels were silver and not cream as their predecessor the Nuffield. Anyway I hope maybe I have the only limited edition one No 28 of 950 and was signed by the master sculptor himself Ray Ayres with the correct colour of wheel rims. ;D Edited February 1, 2012 by BC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 (edited) Interesting, I guess ill have to start saving my bags when I got to farm shows. Usually they are "freebies" at a show Luke so yes it's a good idea since well they like everything else in this world they could be come extinct unless we (who are only passing through) do not preserve for future generations Anyway I don't have many one's from tractor shows apart from this one from the Tillage event from Edzell in Angus Scotland in late 2010 I remember the day well...meeting up with a fellow FTF member on here NewHolland2 aka Martin or Mart and also the mess of my car when I got home...mostly caused on the way in to the event.

Valley Axe Man Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 BFA leyland certainly does look a whole lot better on the silver wheels Bill, It was the cream centres the put me off buying it, but am glad that some one got a "Proper one!"

BC Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 I'm glad I stuck in there and convinced them they had got it wrong Paul...besides that I may have quite a rare BFA in the correct colours ;D I'm one of those folk not to accept anything that's not right...don't get me going on that but I got a "rotten orange" in a box of oranges I bought from Costco this afternoon on the way home from work.....well I'll be back tomorrow to see them since well I only stopped in past to get a price for a couple of tyres for my car...and well Friday is my usual stop off there anyway...so depending on the outcome please look out in various topics...e.g. .....what made you sad...OR ...what made you happy...or what annoyed you ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Those are interesting, never seen anything like that....are they common I wonder in Europe?? Tractors must be small if you can take them away in a bag........wonder what Markys business uses on his bags?? Maybe a big konk or a rotten cabbage??? Knowning Barry it's probably a naked women.....Wonder what Mandy has on her bags?? Probably a picture of Marky ewwwwwwwwwwwwww.. well could be used during Holloween...a couple eye holes and it would make a good monster mask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 Talking of rotten cabbages Rick well I got I right rotten orange in a box of 12 I purchased from Costco on Thursday when I was in past pricing tyres. Anyway I did not discover this until I was home since it was only one of the three which were wrapped in papers. Normally I would have put it in the compost heap but sod it since I was going back there again on Friday I popped it into a Tesco's / Morrison's bag and put that inside a used ice cream container. Yesterday I went to the customer service area and opened the box and said this rotten orange was in the box of 12 I bought yesterday. She initially said I should have taken back the whole box to which I said I have already eaten two and well I was here to advise them in case there was a bad batch of oranges. Anyway she did not know how to handle the situation and there was a lot of whispers going on with another assistant. Then on the phone. Well I not renowned for having much patience so I said tell you what give me my card back and I'll drop in past when I have completed my shopping. She wrote down my member ID returned my card and I continued on my way and got my shopping done. On the way out I stopped at the service desk and got another assistant to which I said....hello I'm back about the rotten orange.....from under the desk she produced an envelope with my name on it and £ 4.99 in cash plus my ice cream container....to which I said thank you very much but I'll leave you to dispose of the empty container and the orange....since they are of no use to me. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 By heck one orange huh ...Marky needs to hire you for quality control! I can just see it now... (Processing Carrots) "STOP STOP, I just spotted a carrot with hair ! This won't do, let me ring up the front office and get Lord Ferguson down here....After all it was his Massey that fetched these carrots in.....quality control would just go to ell in a basket without me here, keeping me eye open". These puffed up Cambridge type just don't know their carrots !!!!!!! Later driving north: "Getting sacked over a carrot with hair" Cheeky sod spends all day in the office on his ipad. Wots eee know about carrots!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will just have to remember doing it, but I will try. A Scot by nationality but not by name Markus. I don't go out of my way to complain about things but I think it is good to suppliers and make them think about their quality control for other customers Markus. And hey I got 11 oranges for nothing and dammed good tasting ones as well ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
