Summary
Pathe synopsis: Junk is also the life of Bill Brownlow, ex-Mayor of Mablethorpe, Lincs. He’s been pushing a pram around for the past 24 years and that junk he’s been collecting has raised £15,000 and built eight bungalows for the old folk. At 82, Bill still tramps up to 20 miles a day in search of happiness for other old people.
