Sorry Guy, you looked up the wrong word. It's not 'pike' or 'piker'. 'Pikey is a pejorative slang term used mainly in the United Kingdom to refer to Irish Travellers, gypsies or people of low social class. I saw a lovely piece of wood in a skip the other day - just perfect for what I wanted. As it happens the owner was there complaining about people dumping stuff in their skip, and said I was welcome to take anything I wanted. Still don't know what the legal situation is about helping yourself. Can't see that it's a problem as it's being thrown away. Adding stuff to it should be illegal though. |
