Not Big Sellers
If I want to get rid of anything that might be useful to someone, I just put it on the front patio with a note saying it’s alright to take it. But not these lights!
A Box of Useless Lights
They’re obviously too awful for even the grottiest cellar, attic or garden shed. They were of course installed in this house by Jerry, who never missed a chsnce to use crap, where quality was specified.

James,
I have used a scheme called Freecycle to recycle all sorts of things from my house.
Look for it on the net…there are branches all over the world…and bound to be several in the London area.
