'Our storage costs for Dan Brown books is sky-rocketing, and we are bracing ourselves for a deluge of "50 Shades" donations in the New Year,' said one charity boss. 'Where are we going to put them?' Some execs fear that they may be forced onto out-of-town retail sites, warning that we could then see a rise on UK high-streets of shops that sell stuff like milk, bread and Lambert & Butler.
