- 6 June 2012 16:39176744Had one in Deal Penny and it is already in the bin

Lincolnshire Born and Bred - 6 June 2012 17:37176751I have got three different ones in the last couple of weeks too, it can be difficult to know if they are really the real thing so as a matter of course I always take mine down to the numerous charity shops in the town
- 6 June 2012 17:44176754just got another one today, it does state that that the goods will be sold in shops across eastern europe.
despite that people still fill them and put them out for collection.
rnli and age uk are the best bets, all monies go to the cause with no middlemen and plush offices. - 6 June 2012 18:33176764i take my stuff drirectly to the shop,then i know they get the full benifit from it.
- 6 June 2012 18:50176773not the same thing brian, the cancer and heart shops have massive overheads.
a tiny proportion of the money taken in the shops actually goes to the cause.
the two i mentioned earlier are exempt from that, only volunteers are employed. - 6 June 2012 18:58176776howard,i split mine between age concern and the rspca shop.the heart foundation i tend to stay away from.
