A while back I was storing some belongings for a colleague & his wife in our loft while a house move was in progress. Time goes on, the stuff was never collected & he unfortunately popped his clogs. Because of the event, I left it a good while & contacted his wife to clear the stuff. Amongst this was 2 books, an illustrated copy of the Karma Sutra and a copy of Asian Erotic art, both expensive hardback books. Wife comes over with new boyfriend & I start passing stuff over & she says quietly “can you get rid of the books” there was no way I was going to take them into a local charity shop, but we were off to the Lake District so wrapped them up well & went to drop them off at a charity shop in Penrith. In the shop we’re 2 old dears, well into the eighties I reckon, just passed them over, got a “thank you love, always after books” & off we went, rather quickly before they unwrapped them. As I walked away, my wife said “those two will have a heart attack when they open them” with that an ambulance shot up the road, but luckily went straight past. Maybe they took them home to spice up their life
