>>12093248My boomer father-in-law is like that. He kept all his mum's old furniture and crockery, basically everything of hers after she died. His house is a tip. When we moved into our first flat he let us have this shitty old double bed he got in the 70s, but when the time came that we got a nice new bed he wouldn't let us get rid of the old one, he actually rented a van and drove down to pick it up. Put it right back where it was before.
