Emailed to me by Triker Pete:
He used to go to all the public functions...especially the cinemas, and always carried a
sugar bag to collect empty bottles and cans.
His name was Albert "Tapper" Torney. Everyone thought he was a bit eccentric and kids would
tease and hassle him. But it was discovered he was very talented and only sold the empty bottles
and some of the cans.
After he died in 1998, (aged 86), his large collection of model cars he made from the aluminum
cans was discovered.
This goes to prove..."You Shouldn't Judge A Book by its Cover", or a sculptor by his sugar bag.
