What delights have your loved ones dumped on you that might perhaps deserve a better, or more appropriate home?
And is there owt that you never got (remember minors tune-in!) that you dropped the hint about, but it never appeared?
What's the most useless thing you got?
It can go on can't it? Unlike my bottle of Finest Reserve Port, which is disappearing quicker than the Mekong flows.

My wife has been given 2 copies of Victoria Heslop's book The Island, following our holiday visit to the Island of Spinalonga - Greece's former leper colony, just of the coast of Crete.

Going on e-Bay....... ;) ;) ;)

Told my wife and kids about 5 times that I liked Susan Boyles new album.

Why two copies?
Sounds an interesting destination
You say the coast of Crete. Just in case you don't know, Crete has 360 degrees coast, it ain't joined onto Greece.
Did you fly into Heraklion or Chania?
Was it worth it?
Do you recommend it?
You're right probably, stick it on e-bay for some other prospector.
Crap present.
