The same applies to the likes of their plastic storage boxes, bedding, some of their lighting and kitchen utensils [pots and pans in particular] and kitchen accessories. Those are the kinds of things we use them for, not big items, such as furniture, as our period home wouldn't suit it.
Barry, you're a madman for going on Bank Holiday - the *absolute worst* possible time! :doh::nono:
The best time to go, is during a week day (not a Friday), outside of rush hour and any public holidays, when the 'great unwashed' are at work;)
