our rubbish tip has a thriving second hand business going.....not sure who gets the money.

I have boxes and boxes of other people's Family history found in such places .....I tried my hardest to reunite it with owners to no avail.....I have to look the other way these days or I would be inundated.......I could also imagine my own Family History getting mixed up with it lol......100 years hence.....Who was this fellah?.....can't find him anywhere .....I wonder if he was adopted?.....sheesh sometimes my mind runs away with me and the made up stories it could tell :-D

WENT TO THE RUBBISH TIP YESTERDAY,IT'S ALL WELL
ORGANISED BUT IT'S HEARTBREAKING TO SEE SOMEONE
THROWING INTO SKIPS HUNDREDS OF LOCAL HISTORY
TYPE BOOKS AND PHOTO ALBUMS AND LOOSE PHOTO'S
ALL THAT HISTORY GONE,ONCE YOU COULD ASK THE TOTTERS
FOR THEM IN EXCHANGE FOR A FEW POUNDS AND JUST THAT
NOW NEW RULES IT'S ALL GOT TO BE DUMPED.
