Stuff I've foundFreddy Woo writes, "My non-prostitute-killing, lorry driving uncle once came home with a wedding cake. Found it in a layby, scoffed the lot over several weeks."
What's the best thing you've found?

X-mas pornChristmas day circa 1975. Unseasonally dry and mild weather and I'm out on the head of the road trying out my new bike. I stopped into a layby for a quick slug of water and just happened to quickly glance into the roadside bin and here's two brown paper packages. Oh ho ! What have we here ? Only two packages of brand new crisp and glossy jazz mags. Maybe around 30 per package. My lucky day or what ? Mayfairs, Penthouses, Men Onlys, H & E (eh ?) etc.
Needless to say I couldn't carry them on the bike so I planked them elsewhere and retrieved them later.
Be assured I made good use of them, as any 14 year old would, before selling them on at school and round the neighbourhood. I made a fortune ... I seem to recall asking about 50p each. That's about £30 ..... genuinely a princly sum for a young lad back in the mid seventies.
Merry Chrismas right enough !
