Skip raiders?

Shirl,
They're called scaffie's up here too - not sure of the origin either
Hey, just checked on web and it's an abbreviated slang version of scavenger !!

Thanks folks. All becomes clear in the large scheme of things (otherwise known as the Grapevine)!!!

I have looked for food in a bin once. Trash digging. Does that count in this case? Never raided a dumpster but I have woken up in one on a number of occasions when at college back in '87.

No pride. What a bunch of pikeys we are!! Good innit!?!?

I just love looking through other people's junk, OH is really embarrassed by me!! Got a massive red kettle that used to sit on top of a Rayburn. I use it for feeding comrey tea to the veg now
