1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: Two new helping charities were so harday, or to put

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: it another way, who knew charities were doing so well?

3
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 1: So we've had a cleanup, clean out at our place

4
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: where shifting and shuffling and decluttering. This happens a bit

5
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: at our house. I married a person who loves stuff

6
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:17,319
Speaker 1: until they don't. Hasn't applied to me yet, but it

7
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:19,440
Speaker 1: applies to a lot of other stuff. Tables and chairs

8
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 1: and clothes. They're in the current pile. So rather than

9
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: dump them, we ring people. Hospice are there, full, SPCA,

10
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 1: they're full. Salvation Army they're full. Red Cross. No reply,

11
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: no answer phone, nothing, no reply. Habit for Humanity, no reply,

12
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: no answer phone, nothing, no reply. How can I give

13
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 1: you stuff if you can't answer the phone? City Mission

14
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: they're full. You literally cannot give stuff away. And if

15
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: all these people are full, they seemingly can't give it

16
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: away either. I mean, if they can't give it away,

17
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,160
Speaker 1: can that mean that demand is down? Does no one

18
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: want a table or a set of dining chairs? Is

19
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: the country not really in the dire state? They keep

20
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: telling us it is. We did have the problem a

21
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: while back, of course, where charities started to get a

22
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: little bit picking on things like clothes because people would

23
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 1: dump tat and essentially rubbish. But in our pile clothing wise,

24
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 1: there's a Kenzo sweatshirt. Who doesn't want a Kenzo sweatshirt.

25
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 1: We did think we could say it, you know, for

26
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: the kids, someone sometime is going to need a flat

27
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: full of stuff. Apparently half our old stuff is in

28
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: fact scattered all over the place in various flats. But

29
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: storage is money, and who the hell knows when or

30
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: if your kids are going to need a set of

31
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 1: glasses or a side table. So we thought the most

32
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: used right here, right now are the army of those

33
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 1: in genuine need. But seems there is no army because

34
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: everyone's full, so the dump it is. Is that a

35
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: waste or is it good news that the so called

36
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 1: need is nothing like they make it out to be.

37
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,520
