I was clearing out the children's rooms over the weekend with a view to sending their old, ragged clothing, outgrown scuba suits, worn-out shoes and other junk to a local thrift store, recycling depot or dump. But this morning my daughter alerted me to this story:
Amy Winehouse: Singer's items raise millions at auction
Quote:
The dress worn by Amy Winehouse during her final stage performance has sold for more than $243,000 at an auction of items from her estate....
More than $4m was raised from about 800 items. 
A <brand-name redacted> tan-and-black jumpsuit worn for her performance celebrating Nelson Mandela's 90th birthday fetched more than $121,000 - its estimate was $1,000 - while pairs of pink ballet slippers sold for between $12,500 and $19,200.

The message is clear: old tat should be shipped to Los Angeles, where it seems that fools will buy anything. We certainly have many more than 800 items, to dispose of! If we all do this, dear Pastor Zeke will have his new jet in no time.
