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.
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.
ReplyDeleteI've just noticed that they've gone. I suspect that someone put them in the bin!!!
DeleteWhy 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.
ReplyDeleteI think they imagine that this is a more direct method.
DeleteToo big for me. If you see a pair of size 4 grab them for me please!
ReplyDeleteThey looked very small to me, but I didn't try them on.
