Seeing this thread reminds me... Back in student days, my mates and I were flogged a 'furnished' house that was fine when we viewed it. But when we moved in, we found all the chairs and tables had gone and the landlord wouldn't return our calls as he was 'out of the country'. Shortly after, we heard a big hotel in Paddington was refurbing and we all turned up (plus a few other mates) to see if we could take our pickings of the armchairs/dining chairs/tables/whatever they were throwing out. We stood at the end of the line as they were handballing them out and chose what we wanted. Not sure if we were allowed to be there or not. Took them back on the tube up to Turnpike Lane in the evening, sitting in our newly-acquired seats all the way there, with side tables set out and everything. We weren't popular in those two carriages... Line change was fun also.
