A survey of 1000 households carried out by Access Self Storage has revealed that
there are certain things that most Britons simply can’t bear to part with.
Childhood toys and possessions came up again and again, along with clothes,
wedding memorabilia, and old electrical goods.

Interestingly, the survey revealed that men are more sentimental than women, with 67% of men saying that they would keep photographs of friends and family compared to just
49% of women. Men were also more likely to say they would keep a gift they were
given, 24%, compared to just 11% of women. Women can’t bear to get rid of old
clothes though, with 36% admitting that there were items of clothing that they
wanted to keep forever, compared to just 9% of men.
