Where we are, the things like this get taken down to the tip and set pout on tables for recycling - ie othr folks visiting the tip can buy the stuff for hardly anything. Le Creuset for 40p a pan, anyone? That's where I get mine, and the casseroles, and the honey extracotr, and numerous/hundreds of other useful items. People take them there knowing there is a very large chance of them being bought and given a second life by someone who buys them.
Every council should do this.


Hi Sarah - where in Dorset are you? Bournemouth tip used to do this up until about a year ago. Everyone round here was gutted.

oh yes they are . smooth , dry , wicking ,tough , rot resistant ,strong , non alergenic and some are dpm and styleish . jungle or arctic , silk is the best base layer i have ever used . if it is good enough for an insects baby it is good enough for me they wash easyily, they last for 3 months unchanged in wet wood land ,insect proof (mostly)..you can step out of the bushes after some time and people think "oh , well dressed "as a natural fibre for rope , cloth , are there any ands ? i cant fault it for what it is best at .if you ever need to wear a wet shirt make sure its a silk one .ps they seem to repel critters and reduce body odour to a minimum . party animal or extreme geography , SILK RULES .
