I'm sure they won't miss it though
CHEERS!
Your bloody low spaced 'cheers' got me again!
LOL, no these are left in normal bin bags, supermarket bags etc.. and even in a suitcase once! Charities post special bags through your letterbox to use that are clearly marked for charity, I live at the end of a street junction that is a cul de sac with the post box and a big brick flowerbed thingy, people just like to leave stuff there kind of like an unmanned 'swap meet' except not much swapping goes on. Kind of like fly tipping but with smaller more useful stuff to me at least, I guess they figure "well I don't want these any more maybe someone else can use them". Charities are actually very fickle about what they take as they have to be sure they can sell it not just clog up their stock rooms so they ask for designer clothing, handbags, belts, footwear etc.. I've never even owned anything they'd want!
I just send this to the government about article 15 of the Offensive Weapons Act since I signed the petition against it, some other UK members might want to know about the petition to stop the law being passed that will make delivery of ANY bladed item to a residential address ILLEGAL!

Dear sir, madam, I suffer from agoraphobia and cannot leave my house that is classified as a private residence so I rely solely on the internet for the delivery of all my purchases from food to work/hobby related supplies, I have no family in the UK and friends are always too busy for me to bother with my daily requirements. I am a sculptor and custom 1/6 custom action figure builder as well as a model builder. These hobbies are integral to my coping mechanism and therapy for my illness and other illnesses, chronic depression and acute anxiety disorder. To continue with my therapy I need tools, one of the most essential being hobby knives that use disposable blades that need to be replaced on a regular basis as well as mini hacksaw and jewellers saw blades, my rotary tool (a Dremel) also requires bladed tool bits to operate. The proposed ban on the sale of any bladed items to residential addresses would destroy my coping mechanism and therapy as well as my mental health and the well-being of my day to day life. Please consider people in my situation, I am not unique in this situation, many fellow sufferers use the same coping mechanisms to create beautiful items and pieces of art that when shared on line whether it be in forums, public photograph sites, or video hosting sites are a benefit and inspiration to many people who appreciate and/or would like to pursue similar crafts and hobbies for their life style, therapy or even as businesses. Please don't take away what little joy sufferers of agoraphobia may have as hobby/craft knives are used for so many constructive and therapeutic indoor activities/hobbies/crafts/art. Yours sincerely, Alexander Smith. wrote:
