No, it’s not the title of the latest book from former Scottish Grocer editor and horror fiction writer John McNee, it’s actually the title of a press release that caught UTC’s eye as he pretended to work from home recently.
The press release, for no obvious reason, was listing all the assorted crap that charity shops have apparently had handed in. (The release was from some business waste company called BusinessWaste.co.uk that was trying to sell its services but UTC didn’t bother to figure out what charity shop tat had to do with it).
Anyway, aside from the expected million copies of Fifty Shades and Jaws books were some more, ahem, esoteric items.
A taxidermied owl, clutching a taxidermied mouse for instance. Is that even legal? Or a blood-stained wedding dress? The mind boggles. Our how about UTC’s personal favourite: several tins of octopus. That’s got to be from Waitrose, surely.
And it’s probably the only thing left on Waitrose’s shelves at the minute.
