I send their sample Christmas cards to people that I don't want to waste money on,

You mean the one you sent me with the idyllic French farmhouse wasn't of the village of S'Ample ?

I am desolate. sad32:

TRUST 'EM?

Nope .... not even the sweet little old ladies who give their time so freely.

They all see first pickin's as their perks and donate 10 pence rather than actually steal the items.

Then they "price" the other stuff much higher.

My suspicion too. They all wear those bloody oap wooly hats too, have you noticed? Problee nicked out of one of the bags, cus the previous owner suddenly realised what a total shit they looked wearing it. cussing:

I don't really care what happens to it so long as it is out of my house.  redface:

I am considering volunteering at a charity shop to get the good tat.  redface:

I s'pose you could actually call that another form of re-cycling then? ::)

Even worse are those who stuff these bags through my door (this rather than inborn miserliness is what drove me to use them for garden rubbish) and then FAIL to collect them again.. That really gets up my nose.
As do the Kleeneze/Bettaware people who stick a catalogue through your door with a label saying they will pick it up on Tuesday and never reappear either to collect the catalogue ~leave it on the step if you don't want to order ~ and a month later it is there a soggy lump.

That all irritates me!

I have a sign on the door refusing kleeneze and their ilk informing them if they leave the catalogue I will junk it.

When I travelled on buses I noticed that early each New Year they announced an "adjustment" in fares. Would that be a reduction then?

Nope!

My bus fare (weekly) went down this year - 50p a week.
