What's with all the weird horns and music they play while on the lookout?

SO people hear them & come out to see what's making the noise. So they can then ask you if you have any scrap.
Pretty obvious really!

We had a bugler (?) around here a few weeks ago - walking 10-paces ahead of the flat-back tranni!

I'm always quite grateful to them. It saves me taking the scrap from my shop to the tip myself.
Flat caps seem to be the 'uniform' round here.

No? Just me then... 🙄
