Generosity.


We often see perfectly usable objects (books, ironing boards, office chairs, etc) left by the side of the large municipal rubbish bins. It is a small form of recycling that works very well.

A few days ago someone left this pair of ladies bootees by our nearest bin. Whoever left them there placed them on a 'new-looking' folded green plastic Waitrose shopping bag.

I can now report that the Waitrose bag has gone, but not the bootees!

What a snobbish bunch they are here in Brighton. Too proud to take a pair of shoes, but very happy to have a free Waitrose bag! C'est la vie.

  1. What size are they? I need a pair of elevens. I trust you'll keep an eye out as folk round my way never seem to chuck new shoes away.

    1. I've just noticed that they've gone. I suspect that someone put them in the bin!!!

  2. Why couldn't they have taken bootees and bag to a charity shop. Both items would have been made use of and not have been rained/frosted or whatever on.

    1. I think they imagine that this is a more direct method.

    1. They looked very small to me, but I didn't try them on.
