Thanks for your warning re taking things from skips and the resultant court
case. I have added it to my growing collection of "barmy Britian stories" Here
in Spain where I live, it is an accepted way of life and the normal daily
rubbish collection points often contain items carefully placed alongside, that,
may of be of use to someone else. The fact that they are not there long is
always proof that the item has found a new home.My outside steel patio chairs
were obtained in such a way,they only needed a new coat of paint to make them
like brand new.They have given me ten years excellent service.In the UK they
would no doubt have ended up in a land fill site.Could this be the reason why
my rubbish collection charges are much lower in Spain that for my house in the
UK. CKP.
