Kind of unusual to store 5 gallon pails of margarine in a shed. It's more likely they were repurposed as storage containers. They could of been filled with used motor oil, nuts and bolts, Playboy magazines ... but it's far more than likely they were filled with redline hot wheels! :-)

I'm almost certain I saw a Canada Post "monotainer" in the garage. It's a steel cage that folds up flat. It should have a plate welded to it, identifying it as Canada Post property. They never sell them off to the public. What happens is, some large companies get large quantities of mail delivered in these cages. The driver picks them up on his next delivery. Sometimes people take them home for their own use. I'm pretty sure C.P. would take it back, no questions asked.

My Mum had a Peugeot bike, It was great to ride.. I use to love having it on a top gear and racing to and from school. It wasn't very comfortable and was pretty heavy and a little too big for me but I still rode it anyway. She gave it away not long ago. It looked the same as the one in the video.. I think her handle bars were different though.
