Mr E was a collector of literature and other reading material. His flat was full of papers. Books, magazines, leaflets, newspapers. All piled up on tables and filled in bags. It was time for Mr E to let go of them a little bit at a time.

When Kash and Sevan entered his flat, Mr E pointed to the big problem that he had, some thick blue rubble bags on his sofa. They needed to be recycled, so the GoodGymers lugged them down the stairs and as the contents spilled out into the recycling bin, they looked at what was inside. All of the bags were filled with newspapers. Old ones, from 2014, 2015 and other editions that Mr E must have found notable. One that jumped out at Kash was from 2009, pronouncing the death of Michael Jackson. Unlike (or like) Michael Jackson, the newspapers were both black and white and they were all getting recycled, no matter how newsworthy their stories once were.

With that quick task completed, Kash and Sevan offered to help Mr E sort through the piles of papers and books sitting on his dining table. Some of them Mr E said that he paid a lot of money for and the valuable ones, he wanted to donate to the library. Together, they managed to dispose of a few leaflets, but Mr E wanted to work through the rest once he was in better health. That meant that the classic Around Ealing magazines - in colour - will have to wait for next time.
