      I went past a charity shop the other day and I noticed they had loads of fascinators and fancy hats.

      Anyway in my area people frequently Ieave stuff out on the street in front of their houses, though never seen any fascinators and fancy hats....

        I have loads for the charity shop (decent kids clothes, they grow so bloody fast!) and children's books, but I've been punting other stuff on eBay with a fiver starting price and most of it sells.

        We have those honest-to-goodness traveller folk who come round and collect metal items that people leave out. I had a skip recently and had to tell a few of them more than once that there was no scrap metal in it.

        The in-laws are moving house and we had to pay a firm £130 to clear their garage but they were very efficient. Other than that you have the local tip/recycle center however since covid you now have to book a week or three in advance rather than just "tip up."

        Planning a trip to the tip, we live in interesting times.

        I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.

          I've been accused of a lot of things, and guilty of most. But reading out of date IT books is a first and definitely wrong

          I'm more of a jazz mags from the bins in the truckers car park at service stations type.

                Way back in the mists of time in another life, I remember a lady colleague bringing a vibrator into the workshop on afternoon shift asking if we could fix it.

                Oddly, no one volunteered.

                  I keep watching BBC 3 health programs where they mention using sex toys. The doctor always asks the participant do they clean them regularly....
