We always check dates on our tools collections for church fete and dispose of out of date ones. We did once get a partially drunk bottle of wine as a contribution!

I won first prize in a village fair raffle and chose a box of chocolates which I thought I would give to a friend who was depressed, hoping to cheer her up a little. When I got home I noticed they were six months out of date!

I paid 5p for a little old looking book at a jumble sale.
Had a proper look at home:
"Nigh thoughts on the recent Jacobyte revolution", printed 1796.

bathsheba I agree with you. My daughter still teases me about the time I dragged took her along to a church fete and we bought Tombola tickets, and she won a prize of face cleanser, excepting the bottle was half full! shock I cannot fathom that someone would think that's a good enough donation, and/or how it made it on to the table!

There are limits! This is up for sale on our local Facebook Marketplace. It is well loved, for which read it's been worn and washed dozens of times, and it has small stains. And the seller wants £5 for it. Seriously? She hasn't even taken the trouble to run the iron over it for the photo ?
