ISTR there is a charity which collects stuff like this & ships it to third
world countries so it can be reused?


You don't think it's good enough to Freecycle, so you want to dump it
on the third world? Brilliant!

Freecycle users ain't what they used to be ..folk being sniffy about
what's offered,taking stuff to instantly go to boot sales,making
ridiculous requests for quite expensive stuff that no-one in their
right mind would give away assuming they have it in the first place
,obviously made-up sob stories about why they need certain items .

There is a whole thread on Moneysavingexpert.com about how greedy some
users are .
