You used to get Donkey stones if you did a trade with the 'Rag and Bone Man' ..... you don't see them any more either. They used to ride around in horse and cart and often had a bucket swinging from the back . Every time the horse did a shit it was collected and put in the bucket. Yes......... they used to sell that as well

Legends absolute legends of the day were the rag and bone men and sadly lost into the abyss of time ..
