Charity shops are quite common on British high streets. Apparently some people's idea of what makes an appropriate donation are, well, a bit odd.
The pet charity PDSA has been keeping track of some of the more unusual items that show up in bin liners outside their doors. These include:
- a willy warmer (not offered for sale)
- handcuffs
- a blow-up doll (which they sold for five quid - no mention of whether it was new or used)
- a voodoo doll with pins (not offered for sale)
- elephant dung (submitted for the Turner Prize but that had already been done)
- an urn complete with ashes ("Grandma?")
- two replica handguns (turned over to the police - yes Americans - replica guns are illegal here too!)
I think I'll just pop out to the Oxfam shop and see what is on offer.
