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.

My dadgave me a Lionel Ritchie "Greatest Hits" album for Christmas 2 years ago. I was 34.
I looked at him in a strange way and said, "What's this?"
"I thought you liked his stuff."
Why? Why? Since when? When had he ever seen it at our house? Did I ever have it on in the car?
All year afterwards I kept giving it away to charity shops, but my friends thought it always highly amusing to turn up with another copy afterwards in case I was missing it.
It's in the garage at the moment being used to scare away the magpies.
