I AM sick to death at the number of plastic ‘begging bags’ that are shoved through my letterbox day after day, all asking for clothing, books, and whatever else we may have.

Last week I received nine of these damned things and this week alone I have had five!

How many unwanted items do these people think we have?

It just goes on and on, from Coping with Cancer, Gift Aid, Heart Disease, Asthma UK, Children’s Hope Foundation, to mention only a few.

I am sure that other people are also fed up. It is becoming too ridiculous for words and it should be stopped.

Any clothing etc. that I don’t want I take to a charity shop. I never use one of these bags.
