I reckon he’s hiding something else in there he don’t want you to know about so he’s stonewalling you

I'll get to the bottom of it, I promise, even if I have to search... brick by brick?

My dad since he retired is deep into collecting bricks, that's probably about as unusual a hobby as I've witnessed. He and his brick collecting friends drive all over the US to trade at brick swaps.

I think your dad is the winner of this thread.

Actually here's a picture of his brick barn he built to store some of his bricks. He was showing it off to some friends and I forgot I had this on my phone.

Super fun if it's done right. I'm probably a bit too old/out of shape for it now.

I see we travel in the same boat; although my kidney condition is a huge factor (it does funny things to your legs), outside of age.

My eldest lad is collecting old house bricks with company names on them, once he's got enough he's going to build himself a bbq with them.

I'd like to learn masonry and build myself a cozy house on a couple acres in Colorado TBF. Bit more aspirational than a BBQ admittedly. It'll never happen now that my health and life expectancy has taken a swift kick to the jewels but where there's a will there's a way.

Can’t be more than a handful who’ve been to an Everton match *and* collect bricks
