There was a lot of fresh fruit and veg...apparently it was thrown out by the supermarket because it had marks or dents on it and customers want perfect looking fruit. They had a name for the outings but can't remember what it was.



IT WAS CALLED "FREE CYCLING" WHERE THEY WENT SCAVENGING FOR FOOD ETC... MY GOD JUST THE THOUGHT OF SPENDING NO MONEY FOR A YEAR... NO TV FOR A DAY IS BAD ENOUGH , BUT THE THOUGHT OF NO NEIGHBOURS, EAST ENDERS, CORONATION ST OR CASUALTY I COULDNT DO IT... LET ALONE NO SWEETS, SHAMPOO.... I 'D LOVE TO BE A FLY ON HIS WALL THOUGH...
