The man who bought it was on the bus on his way to town when he looked out the window and saw he was for sale so he jumped off the bus to buy it.&#8221;<br \/>\nNow that most of their business is carried out online, the couple are reverting to more traditional forms of marketing.<br \/>\nThe statues have been replaced with a colourful garden \u00a0planted with poppies for Remembrance Sunday.<br \/>\n\u201cIf you care about your environment then you care about your garage,\u201d said Heather.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HUMPTY Dumpty, Laurel and Hardy, an alligator; they have all been spotted in Rhiwbina but are now being retired and sold off.
