Pikey gold is a term used to describe any old rusting metal that has been discarded by its previous owner as it is deemed no longer able to perform its original task. Items include but not exclusively shopping trolleys with tree wheels ,a bath with a hole in it and other things people might throw away.
The Pikey's main goal in life seems to be the acquisition of anything metal and they are not fussy about who it belongs too, incidents where lead has been stolen from church roofs and electric cables taken from railway crossings (causing major disruption to networks) are common.
It's like the wild west in England with toothless Pikey's slapping their knees and performing little jigs around skips when they find a bit of scrap .
