We would never do that in Suffolk...

We use binder twine for everything.   If it was ever banned then half the buildings in the county would fall down and all farm machinery over five years old would grind to a halt.

My ancient landy would disintegrate.

Reading the news yesterday and a man was stopped by the police whilst driving his car sitting on a bucket and using a pair of mole grips attached to the steering column to actually steer the car.

I dont think the Police were to bothered by the use of the mole grips & bucket, it was the fact that it was untaxed that they are charging him !! ?

Everdently no tax was the least of his problems, report quoted too many offences noted at the time of arrest for a single charge to be issued. ?

Norfolk must be just the same I bought a Series two land rover off a bloke from Wells  all the seat fobs were made from bats of straw in fertilizer bags bound with sisal baler twine, wrapped in hessian sacks.

My father used it as a belt to tie up his coat.  I've still got a shovel in the shed mended with the stuff.  And my grandfather wove a cat bed out of it.

The car was also missing a front light, a wing and had a flat tyre.  I'd guess they were not from Norfolk, or the UK but I bet they felt right at home.
