to be irritated that Doctor's Surgeries do not now take magazines?

[motheroftwoboys]

I have always saved my "old", sometimes hardly read, magazines and newspaper supplements to take to the doctor's surgery for the waiting room. Apparently, due to Health and Safety, they cannot now accept them! So lost that recycling opportunity and people just supposed to sit in waiting room and stare at the wall. Feel really guilty just throwing away expensive magazines.

I remember that thread.

But not sure what high days are either. I had quite a few high days in my yoof but I don't think that's what it means.

YANBU but you could offer them up on Freecycle or something instead? :)

High days are days of obligation at church.

basically, days when you have to attend communion.
It's the church version of bank holidays.

btw, it's the same as holidays, because holiday means holy day - days when you had to attend communion.

iirc, it's christmas day, easter day and ascension day are the high days and holidays are other days like good friday, pentecost, trinity sunday etc.

Rogation sunday, mothering sunday, etc.

according to tim dudley-smith's book, high days might just mean special services like these and those above, rather than ones you had to attend....

got it!

a proper explanation

except it's not.

Give them to a local hairdressers.

I have donated magazines on many occasions: once recently to the antenatal blood screening place where I once spent a torturous two hours with nothing to read/do and once to my GP. However, on returning to said places I saw 'nae hide nae hair' of the said magazines....[hmmm]. I handed them in at the coutner and think they may have been snaffled by the staff.
