Corporate IdiocyComedian Al Murray recounts a run-in with industrial-scale stupidity: "Car insurance company rang, without having sent me a renewal letter, asking for money. Made them answer security questions." In the same vein, tell us your stories about pointless paperwork and corporate quarter-wits

Again, based on heresaythese are not old rags, they're asking for good quality clean stuff.
It gets exported to places like Nigeria, and sold there. Not as rags.
They don't just ask for clothes. It's toys, shoes, small electrical appliances.
I could be completely wrong, but it sounds more than feasible.

Furry muff.I think what I suggested happens here in Oz. I don't have any "inside knowledge".
So yeah - based on hearsay.
But having worked in a couple of places that bought rags off charities, rest assured that some pimply-faced teenager wont be buying your favorite Dr. Who t-shirt just 'cause it's cool.
EDIT: Over here it's illegal for then to accept *any* electrical goods - they can't test and tag them so they cannot sell them as safe. Even in Nigeria!
