i visit 3-4 regulary... think that if anyone injures themself in scrappys ,, then that there fault... gotta think if you do a dangerous sport.. go hill walking in winter,,, run into a burning house to save somthing or somone ,,, then its different than being a fireman,,, coalminer,, policeman,,,, or tripping on the pavement .... cause of the u.s.a mentality of sueing somone that looks at u wrong or has a different opinion....basicly anything that they can ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,is ruining common sense and freedom........

Health and safety I think now specify the insurance specially for the public,but because of expense the yards wont pay it and dont allow G/public past shopfront,it also prevents the nicking of bits and peices so in some respects the public have done it for themselves because so much got nicked.

I am in no way saying you are one of those that does nick, but there are those that do and have spoilt it for the honest dismantlers amongst us
