Not content with putting lives at risk, wrecking the environment and
causing massive inconvenience to the general public, motorists are now
dumping their cars in ever increasing numbers due to a drop in scrap
metal
prices.

And who has to pay to clear up this mess? Not the motorist concerned
nor
the motor manufacturer but the hapless taxpayer.

It's someone re-posting guff posted by Duhg some years ago.

Scrap value has rocketed in the last few years. It's £160 /tonne where my 
brother lives.

And still is. Like Steve pointed out, this is a troll recycling Duhg's rubbish.

Aha. You have just exposed yourself. If you were the real Doug Bollen
you wouldn't have written "imposter". I aways spell that word
"impostor". Check my record on Usenet if you want. Who is the real
impostor here?

entirely you bloody impostor?

You are now definitely a blithering idiot. That story must be at least 
18 months old because currently scrap prices are at an all time high.

I think the DougWars are rather amusing.  I particularly like the way
Real Doug Bollen (who denies being Doug Bollen) is using this in an
attempt to further his pathetic claims not to be Doug Bollen.

But which of those currently posting as Doug or Doug Bollen is the real Doug 
Bollen? It couldn't possibly be the one who rants and raves at the world 
around him, especially about cars, as he says he's not Doug Bollen and that 
he never tells lies.

Oddly enough, Duhg's rubbish is actually quite funny second time
around.  Still utter rubbish, though.

Similar thought struck me in present circumstances (hereabouts anyway) of
people touring the area every few weeks blagging scrap cars and breaker
yards having to part with a decent amount of cash for same driven to the
gates.

Quite.

Yes but aren't secondhand car prices down, which leads to even more
abandoned cars? They are everywhere, often burnt out and cluttering
the countryside, along with their bits like tyres and chunks of metal
and plastic.

Why would someone abandon something they can get money for Doug?

Wrong again (or is that "still"). I can't remember the last time I saw a 
truly abandoned car

This explains why the Jamaican goverment has banned the scrap metal 
business, since prices have gone so high they are scared all their 
infrastructure will end up being weighed in...

Nope. Never seen it. Plenty of abandoned cars burned out after being 
stolen by joyriders probably drunk on cheap alcohol. But no properly 
abandoned cars...

Crikey, the scrap market must be in boom times if even the value of
