When I was a kid I made plastic models of boats. When I got married my wife cleared them out and took them to her mothers place. There wasn’t enough room for them in our house.

Every time my son visited his grandmothers house he would play with them and bring one back.

Eventually the whole fleet was back at our house. One day I discovered them out on the street waiting for the Council collection. So I brought them back inside and put them on top of the fish refrigerator where they have been for 30 years.

I had them all that time, so why chuck them away?
