I went to a fair number of these liquidation auctions, and some of the stock being sold on the day wasn't on the company stock lists.

As for computers, I've still got the hard drive from the manager of one local councils printworks. Bought with all the councils letter templates on it. They'd have printed the various department letter standards there.
Another time, the hard drive was simply dropped off at the local police station. Someone in an office had too much time at their fingertips and access to the internet.

Other times it beggared belief at what they were trying to get money for.

Sounds familiar. The same ones who dumped my watch were selling a nearly new engraving machine. I put in a bid for I think £1000 which was about half the new price. They sold it to somebody else for £200 even after my offer. Old pals?

Some auctioneers have a "bid in the room" beats one left with them.

They all have to stick to the rule that if someone claims ownership of any item(s) in the auction, and can prove it, they have to return it to it's legal owner.

Been delayed and delayed and a total cock up finally came in force Friday.The list is way too one sided. Expired passports ect can also be use or council issued voter id you appply for. Best thing if in doubt go postal nothing chancing , even if you’ve got ID if staff at polling station think it’s not a good likeness they still won’t let you vote.

Recycling centre trip successfully completed this morning and I even managed to find an old kettle in the back of a cupboard that got added to the'small appliances' skip. As a treat to myself, I stopped off at Morrisons on the way home and picked up a pack of custard doughnuts.

Is it acceptible to have the remaining couple for breakfast tomorrow instead of porridge?

Probably not, but does it matter?
