The Rag and Bone men aren't doing too bad I see though, everytime he comes down my street, every time he seems to have loads of metal in the back of the van or on the cart. I took a video, but it's the poorest of qualities but you may be able to make out what he was saying, even though I struggle

Having had three collection bags through my letterbox this week to fill with unwanted clothing,shoes bedding etc made me think that these collection companies who sell the stuff abroad and say they give a donation to some obscure charity are the "new rag men"I'm not convinced they are all bona fide.Charity shops must be taking a real hit from them as it's easier to leave a bag of stuff on the doorstep than take it to their local shop

It was too late by the time we'd finished and besides a cold beer was calling me, so we left them by the gate to take the following weekend.We got home from work the following day to find that the nice "charity" collection people had been in and taken them! Goodness knows what they thought when they opened them though.
