It seems to me that you are keeping stuff out of landfills and not patronizing shops that engage in child labor, but I still voted Replacements Black Dianond.
You rock JennyB!
Yes but....
Out on the streets for a living
Medulla's only begun
His day is complete hobo madness
But these new ear muffs are fun
Whoo, black diamond
Whoo, black diamond
Medulla will prey on the city
He may just follow you too
No one claimed this scarf such a pity
There's nothin' that you can do, no no
Whoo, black diamond
Whoo, black diamond
Forces have been looting
My humanity
Curfews have been curbing
The end of liberty
We're the flowers in the dustbin...
No fuchsias for you.
Count me in as a member of the Hobo Sapiens species - I fully appreciate the thrill of the unexpected freebie from mislaid or discarded things.
And it doesn't have to be as grand as the office chair and large framed prints (worth having for the frames alone) I've repurposed from the local recycling centre, where people leave out all sorts of household stuff they don't want. I walk with a spring in my step for days every time I find a 20p piece left behind in the coin-operated lockers at the leisure centre.
But even I draw the line at what a work colleague did, who was out walking - with his wife, too! - and found a discarded double mattress in the street. They inspected it, reckoned it was 'like new' and both carried it home, and use it to sleep on, to this day.
He proudly told us at work about his windfall, expecting some sort of congratulations, and couldn't believe the dismayed/disgusted reaction he got.

It's ok they'll change it in 6 months time when they find another one.

Where you take one step and miss the whole first rung
I visit thrift stores frequently. I was in a thrift store in Greenville, SC and I noticed a guy going through the stack of jeans. He was thoroughly investigating each pair. I couldn't help but notice and he noticed me. He looked at me and said, "Hey, I was in here last week and found a $10 bill in a pair of these."
