A new service seems to have sprung up over the past few years; paying companies to store your possessions for you. I don't know if its due to people having more stuff than their house can hold, or just because they live in smaller houses these days, but companies like this seem to be popping up all over the place. I can understand it if someone was moving house or emigrating, but to pay £5 or so a week to have someone look after your stuff seems a bit crazy to me.
Yes, we have them on this side of the Pond too. ,-)
ReplyDeleteI probably sound grumpy but... seems silly to me. Unless you're moving from one space to another and need storage for a certain amount of time.
But to me, seems that people {already living in one space} would do well to only own that which one can easily keep. Any more and it's too much 'stuff,' to me.
But I also know, that's going against the "consumer mentality" and so... surely, I'd be called grumpy. ,-)

I saw your 'Robin Hood Icon' and being wed to a Nottingham man, decided to visit:-)
ReplyDeleteI like the pictures of events and views of Nottingham very much. Trips down memory lane.
You mention about people putting their property into store.
There have been articles in the papers,(Telegraph)regarding owners asking the storage personel, to play the owners music Tape or Disc supplied, to the keep the harmony of the furniture intact. It was not the 1 April.
