At first look I thought the box in the picture on the self storage story were that blokes legs and wondered what the hell was happening.

    No, it's a cardboard box.

    Magazine editor Steve Barrett began using Big Yellow in London when he got married. "It was for all the stuff my wife wouldn't allow in the house." After several years he managed to clear out his stuff. But when he moved to New York 18 months ago, he rented a unit at an independent self-storage facility in Hammersmith for £70 a month.

    He'd given away his television and DVD player but found it too painful to part with records, books and "assorted sentimental crap". He's been paying ever since - "£1,260 and counting" - but prefers not to think about the cost. "It makes no financial sense. It's an emotional thing. I'm storing up my youth in a big box."

    That is quite a lot of money which soon adds up - works out at at least £4200 for 5 years, it would have to be a lot more valuable not junk.
