Mini-ChatAlbert "Tapper" Torney used to go to all the public functions...especially the picture theatres. He always carried a sugar bag to collect empty bottles and cans.
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 aluminium cans was discovered.
