    Igamogam, we thoroughly check all the lines of trolleys and this evening had quite the job to get to a few - we pulled out I don't know how many trolleys......which we eventually put back as we found them. I can't stress this enough - don't do anything to the state of the trolleys that will tick off the security or you will find yourself most unwelcome.

    Anyway, we attracted the attention of a passing policeman.

    No, I am not kidding.

    We had a good chat with him and a bit of a giggle explaining what we do and that he might see us again if he is passing on an evening! He was very nice to us, just wanted to know what we were up to so we explained and he likely thought us slightly barking.......but he left us alone after a quick chinwag! :D

    That's now a grand total of EIGHT PENCE in 24 days! :rofl:

    Is there a prize for the worst roadkill rebel? ;) I think I'm the hands down winner if there is :)

    Good morning Rebels!! Well it is the final few days of November so let's make it count - 5 days from now you all need to report in with your totals for the month and then we can see how much we have collectively pulled off the streets! I will start a December thread tonight when I get home so watch for it and sign up if you think you're up for finding another months worth of pennies. I am going to add 20% to my roadkill total for this month and make that my goal for December. Even I think I am pushing it but you have to aim high if you are going to achieve anything!

    Meanwhile, I have just found 1p on the train so Monday is already off to a decent start! :)
