I often head to the stalls with all the men aged about 60+ clustered around (they are usually searching for old tools), as this is where I often find my tins!Streetcomberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05029151833679911644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594236435606739175.post-65031606714152554702013-08-18T11:44:46.630-07:002013-08-18T11:44:46.630-07:00Great buys!
