Money for Nothing

Has anyone seen this afternoon programme on BBC1?

Basically, a pleasant young lady called Sarah goes to local tips and asks people dumping things to give them to her. She then 'recycles' them into something (often a bit of 'art' or something) and sells them to make a profit, which she then hands to the original owner.

Unfortunately, most of the end products would never get house room around here. I can only assume that she sells them in London, to people with more money than sense.

It reminds me of the Harry Enfield sketches, like this

Trouble is, it's supposed to be serious! Laughing

Catch it this afternoon. Cannot believe what I saw. Did suffer it to the end. More money than sense would be my description. A light from the cutting blades of a lawn mower . Don't know how much they were handed.  Horrified.

They say where there is muck there is money, I suppose where there is trash there is cash. I wonder what fools part with money to purchase some of the items. Not for me i'm afraid

Yes , we have seen this program back last year , what a load of rubbish!!  (no pun intended) completely insults the average people's intelligence , as for those who actually buy the junk with inflated designer prices have money to burn and no taste
