Barring any apocalyptic disasters or me staying in bed all day, I should be swapping my catback exhaust tomorrow. Is it worth me dragging my arse down to the local scrapyard* and weighing the old one in?

My quick back of a bus ticket maths suggests I'd get about £2.40, so I'm assuming not...

*one that Mr DTM has previously visited, IIRC, something to do with them honking great big trains...

If you've a load of other metal stuff to weigh in, then add it to the pile and get some money.
Otherwise, you'd have to need a couple of quid really badly.

Pop it in your recycling bin

As I was thinking, haha. I was hoping for a couple of tales of "I weighed one in, got £50 for it, and was served by Konnie Huq in a bikini" or "I rang the scrap man, he sent Katy Wix to collect it, and she gave me £3000 and a bucket of ice cream".

I'll fling it to the end of my drive and it'll be gone in nanoseconds...

That sets a dangerous precedent, as before you know it the thieving pikey scum will nick your fence posts, door furniture, satellite dish, metal shed and anything else that's not firmly attached.

Haha. You vastly overestimate the grandeur of my house... good point though, I think I'll take it to the tip next time I'm taking the garden rubbish. Just in case.

The thieving, pikey scum round our way knock on your door and ask if it's ok to take it even when you've written 'scrap' on the top of it.

That would be because they can't read. You might as well write "all pikeys are soft as soft can be"

'As soft as soft can be'? Steady on.

It's ridiculous, I'll happily write "pikey", in the real world I use the sort of language that would pink the cheeks of a longshoreman, yet on here I don't even like typing rude words, regardless of the swear filter... I make no sense.
