... subject to post about, I thought of my most recent Oxfam purchase. 'Most recent' meaning, in this instance, on March 21st (the day I last got my hair cut and last handled cash).
But what a fabulous purchase it was:
In absolutely perfect condition, a ceramic holder for those boxes of interleaved toilet paper, which - hooray! - I see are still
sold. On the front is embossed 'JEYES - THE HOUSE OF HYGIENE' and their address at 99 Regent Street.
But the best bit is that incorporated into the top of the holder is
an ashtray!
Clearly designed in the interests of employers for the efficient multi-tasking use of workers' break times.
What a find indeed ;)

And if you ever worked at/in a Government establishment, the same type of paper was printed with the words (or something similar, twas a long time ago) Government property not for reuse !!
