Shoddy PresentsI have an aunt who for many years would send me the same christmas present every year. A Biro. Each year I wrote inevitable "Thankyou so much for the Biro. I am using it to write this letter" letter, each year a new one arrived.
Tell us all about the rubbish that has been foisted upon you over the years.

I had a (relatively) wealthy great grandmotherwho used to give us plastic chipshop forks and wooden icecream spoons that she'd found on southport beach. Washed obviously. (I think).
She also used to collect used and water-logged ship's coal for her fire ... it would burn for days without getting even slightly warm.
(thinking about it ... this is probably why she had more money than the rest of the family)
