I mean good on them if there is actually a market for flipping crappy old boxes like this though…

Just remembered that Harry Enfield's shop was called Blondes of a Certain Age.

After watching it I was in a shop just like it selling overpriced 'luxury' tat and looked round and everyone in there, including me was blonde and a certain age. 😀

Hahaha there must be something to it because me too 👱‍♀️

Reminds me of that daytime TV programme where that woman (Sarah something?*) hangs around recycling centres and takes things that people are just about to dump. Does a bit of painting it yellow and red, a bit of decoupage and then sells the tat for £400.
*she was at our local one one day i went there, but she didn't want my old paint splattered curtains that i had used to cover furniture when decorating.

I just read this out to my DH and we both laughed. It’s his pet hate. Bit of tat turned into some more tat - and the people who were going to chuck it out give the money to “charity”. Of course they are!
