          They're alive and well and busy in Leeds, Coventry and Essex.

            Come live in Hull.

            Every week or so. Scrap metal has gone up in price so it became a good way to make money again. I got rid of my mother's broken dish washer.

            I can see you consulting estate agents now.

                I've seen a rag and bone guy in Gosport Hampshire in the last few months so they're not just limited to the North.

                  I don't think Essex or Coventry consider themselves in "the North".

                    Where does "the North" start? North of the river or north of Watford?
