By the way, the Heart Foundation shop in Lewisham gladly took our enormous, out-of-date telly a couple of years ago. Every now and then we get a 'Gift aid' letter because they've managed to sell either the telly or the VCR or the cables and stuff that went with it - so we're glad it has helped.
They sadly had to refuse to accept an absolutely beautiful leather armchair (that I didn't really want to part with) because it was made in the years before 'fire safety' stickers became mandatory.
