I'm getting things through the door and on the lawn all the time. The new form of litter

This mob are from Lithuania and claim to donate £5000 to charity.

However, another use. Shove one in the camelbak and use for something to sit on in the woods when grazing on flap jacks.

I've seen a lot of 'charity' leaflets asking for clothes for 3rd world countries, starving children etc. I've seen the guys delivering them and they certainly look 'shifty'. The leaflet text is usually badly written and the charities don't exist. I think they collect the clothes and probably sell them in Eastern Europe. I've no objection to people making money from recycling stuff but claiming the money is going to charity is just dishonest. My nan uses the bags as bin bags (but she is tight!)
