[Gusto Brunt]

A few years ago, I used to raid the charity shop bins at night, to 'rescue' products that would have gone to land fill.

I have a few quality items taking pride of place in my house.

But in the last two years they have put a lock on the bins.

But not tonight. I noticed there was no lock and rescued a big china lion - worth about £50, and a big lovely white bear that glows in the dark when touched. That's brand new, I'd say it was worth at least £20.

Gawd knows what was at the bottom of the bins. It's a disgrace what goes to land fill.
