They work well for my mum who is always buying potions and lotions but not really for C in C nag home. If I had a shed I'd probably be sent there to sleep!
When confronted by a difficult problem you can solve it more easily by reducing it to the question. How would the Lone Ranger handle this?

I used to work weekends in House Of Fraser (well, as it was Darlington, it was "Binns") and the perfume counter ladies used to love flirting with us 18 year olds, and used to give us the half used testers as "it looks bad to have a half used bottle on the counter". I used to make a small fortune selling them on in the sixth form common room!
