Brits stock so many unworn or unused shoes at home that put heel to toe they would go once round the WORLD
The average Brit currently owns 53 items of unworn clothing, 36 CDs and DVDs that are never played, and seven pairs of unwanted shoes
THERE are so many unworn or unused shoes in British households that put heel to toe they would go once round the world, according to research.
And if piled on top of each other, all the CDs and DVDs we don’t listen to or watch would stretch a staggering 7,641 miles into space.
The average Brit currently owns 53 items of unworn clothing, 36 CDs and DVDs that are never played, and seven pairs of unwanted shoes.
Our neglected footwear would cover 29,430 miles - way over the 24,901 miles along the equator.
The study, commissioned by Oxfam, revealed that clothes are most likely to be cluttering up our homes, followed by CDs, books and toys, totalling 143 unused items stashed away in a typical household.
Four in 10 admitted they have not really thought about the amount of space that could be liberated by a good clear out, which the research showed could free floor space equivalent to an entire room.
