Yes, there's something to be said even for mild to moderate instances of the hoarding tendency. I've just arranged to start volunteering at Fakenham's Gas Museum - England's only surviving town gas works, long mothballed and now open to the public - and couldn't but notice that, in a display featuring the wide variety of household products made using substances from the gas industry, was a recent bar of Wright's Traditional Soap. A bit out of place there, I do believe, as regulations long ago eliminated coal tar from its ingredients: but I used to like the real stuff, and put a few bars aside for a rainy day when the formulation changed, and with it the packaging of course. The museum deserves one of those...
