What a lovely idea Stuart. With you and I Phillipa as the stars in "The Rubbish Ladies of Chiswick" I had an interesting evening yesterday when walking along Turnham Green Terrace and there was a big pile of contractors ( First Mile ) sacks outside Fara waiting for collection. One of them wasn't tied and was full of very good books. Tut what a waste. I collected my shopping trolley from home, went back and started loading it with the books when the First Mile lorry arrived to collect it all for incineration. I asked the men if they could leave this sack because it was such a waste that I wanted to take the books to the Oxfam book shop. They said that the whole lot was an awful waste so they would leave it all to me and come back later. I continued with the books and a kind gentleman came along and gave me a chicken sandwich! Then an HGV arrived outside Oxfam. The driver got out and used a key to let himself in then dragged heavy duty sacks out and put them on the tail lift. He was finishing at the same time as me so we had a chat. He was collecting excess books for Oxfams depot and I was collecting books for Oxfam so If I took them in he'd collect them for the depot after they'd been gift aided. Excellent. I gave the sandwich to the homeless chap under the bridge , left the books in the trolley overnight, gift tagged and delivered them today. Cash in the Nepal box on the counter and job done. The books changed hands quickly a few times and everybody happy. Act 1, Scene 1 :) What's next Phillipa?
