My boss, who doesn't garden beyond the mow the lawn/weed the boarder

told me we had had a donation of "some" plant labels. She thought there
were too many for us to sell, so would I like some of them? Of course, I
said yes.
They are brand new, wood, good quality, 6 inches long and 1/2 an inch
wide.
I have 404 [yes, four hundred and four] of them.

I suppose the next thing is you'll be on Antiques Road Show or Flog it
and they will turn out to be hand carved by Chipendale and worth a few
hundred pounds each.
and the original owner will turn up shouting that the charity has been
robbed.

I dislike the idea that charity workers can get the best things from the
charity shop before the public even sees it.
It's not ethical, IMO.
