johnfromstaffs ◊ 2021-10-17 16:38	I take your point about the weight, but if you imagine that those lids would keep the stink in you have never followed a “Chelsea” pattern dustcart on a hot day. https://www.shelvoke-drewry.co.uk/Preserved.html -- Last edit: 2021-10-17 16:56:56
tore-40 ◊ 2021-10-17 18:01	I wasn't even sure about the smell. So almost no help from the panels
