I love the concept and will now keenly rifle through Tesco bins. I think however the people freely entering my car and taking cd’s and i-pod have taken the idea too far.

Oh, now, don’t beat yourself up. You are a wise and wonderful headline mistress.

I think they are in fact called freegans universally I’m just the dumbass who gave it the subject header. And it was wrong…

I love this whole concept. In my land we call them freegans. (Or, dumpster divers.) Some people are hard-core and buy next to nothing. And live normal lives — teachers, etc.

That’s funny, I was just thinking about leaving some conditioner outside the other day, usually things go quite quickly over here in Hackney. And yes, that was a nice crumble, mystery benefactor be praised

My friend Sophie came back to her bike after a stroll around Brick Lane to find a bag of slightly bruised pears hanging on her handlebars… she made an ace crumble from them if I recall! I used to leave old furniture or unwanted bric-a-brac outside my flat on Kempe Road and it was always snapped up sharpish. In Holland isn’t there one day a month when everyone does that and everyone does a trawl and a purge? We should arrange one day for that to happen around here!
