We dumped our unwanted goods on the street before setting off for our walk and 90 minutes later, very little was left. And the monitor, recycling bag, and bottle have subsequently vanished, leaving just the stand and a work-branded coffee mug. Hurrah! Some wag had affixed my "Free" note to the moped parked alongside -- funny!
The Queen's Day stalls are a great way of seeing what technologies/hobbies have passed their prime. Weighty computer monitors are out, as are VHS tapes and roller-blades (YES!). I succumbed to a couple of novels, prevented PJ from buying anything with a dial on it, including an old tape-to-tape machine -- objet d'art? objet d'arse more like -- and hung my head over, but didn't buy, a revolving set of pickle dishes and a butcher's set of weights. There's no point in putting a load of tat out onto the street if you're only going to replace it with more junk.
