Found a load of ladies shoes stuffed up a chimney breast I was bricking up. They just kept coming and coming, think I counted summat like forty pairs. Was a bit unexpected.

A dead dog in another chimney where the fireplace had been boarded over.

Large stashes of --- material (surprisingly common).

Biscuit tin full of pressed/dried goldfish.

This was nothing to do with work, this was at home. For some unknown reason the TV remote control disappeared. After a week of having to get off my a$s to change channels I was livid. I started dismantling the entire house room by room. In our kitchen there was a small set of drawers on wheels which we were given by the mother in law. I entirely removed each drawer and tipped them out on the kitchen counter. As I was about to put the drawers back I noticed a very small glittery purse which looked like a kids toy and was balanced on the bottom wooded skirt inside the carcase of the drawers. I groveled at floor level and retrieved it. Inside there were two full gold Krugerrands and a half sized Krugerrand.

I pocketed the winnings and promptly went online to check the value which was considerable. I mentioned it to wifey who also had no idea where they came from but she vaguely remembered her mom saying she'd lost some coins a while ago. It turns out these were the coins, she'd put them in a safe place and had never been able to find them again. Unfortunately I had to return them and to make matters worse it's 6 months on and I still haven't found the TV remote.

Found a priest hole undisturbed at the chequers inn in wootton, bedfordshire

 

[Knobhead]

A dead wallaby at the quarry foot. We had bloody big rabbits in Derbyshire.

A gang had escaped many years earlier from the menagerie at Riber Castle. (Early 50’s I think.) They bred on the Derbyshire / Staffordshire moorlands for years. Finally killed off by a series of bad winters.
There are occasional reports of them still being seen but to be honest I think the reports were more wishful thinking. The first one I saw was on the quarry top, my reaction was I’d had too much to drink the night before.

Sorry to say it went in one of the kilns to get rid of the body. All sorts went in to the kilns, dead dogs and cats being the normal! I’ve put a parrot and a snake in (both dead).

At the iron foundry firearms and ammunition went in to the furnace. I would stop the process while the police loaded all the stuff in to the charging skip. This was done under armed guard.

Never got rid of a human body even though there have been plenty I’d have liked to.
