Lets have a sweepstake

[original PM]

Quite a bit of this around where I am. I had an old bedframe in a rental house I was clearing. Could have taken it to the tip but I knew it was pikeydegradable and would vanish overnight. Strangely enough, the pile of bricks i also took out are still there a year later

The thing is, there wouldn't ever be a hint of 'do you want me to take this?' It's straight on the back of the wagon, no questions asked.

Quality I am having that!

Happened to my old washing machine but the guy (and his son) did ask and they seemed just decent honest people trying to make good use of the things that they find, things that the everday folk leave behind.

Personally I think it's because all the really poor ones willing to come and pick strawberries for peanuts were already here.

Somebody should tell them that we don't use bartering any more. Pick strawberries for cash!
