What sort of rubbish have you got hidden away in your shed / attic / basement that's been unused for years (and will probably remain that way)?
We all do it. We no longer have a use for something, but rather than get rid, we put it away because "that could come in handy one day"
My weakness is hardware. I can't throw away any piece of furniture without first removing all the castors, hinges, handles etc.
Think I'll open a hardware shop lol

Better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.

I really wouldn't know where to start with this because, well, EVERYTHING. I'm not a hoarder like you see on TV, but know there's stuff that WILL find a use.

For example - One night after a few bevvies, visiting a friend in Waterlooville , I spotted some new street lights had been erected and were still sheathed in their protective neoprene sheet. Walking back from the pub I shinned up a couple to free them of their jackets. That neoprene has found a thousand uses as protective feet, seals, gaskets etc. Still got a couple of square metres in my shed.

That’s the difference between us and them when we are drunk. We gather useful objects whilst they launch paving slabs over peoples heads.
