The Mary Portas one, is it Living and Giving? Or the one near the station, Clothes for Causes, which I always thought was more of a lifestyle support system for someone who wanted to build a profile as some sort of sustainability vlogger.

There was one called Give and Take next to EDT which became Question Air and has now changed its name to something else

The one with the questionable business model was Give and Take, now closed.


Though maybe Clothes for Causes did as well.

Would that be the smallest one, by any chance?

Is this the shop which has been discussed on here before due to weird random exclusions of particular items from offers publicised in the shop?

Yes Sue it is. And I know people have suggested previously that some of the helpers may have certain health related issues, but there is no excuse for rummaging through a donated bag of goods in front of customers and the person kind enough to donate them, and suggesting said donated items are not wanted or they have too much already. It?s iust plain rude. If someone is kind enough to donate, these people should at least show some gratitude. The lovely people at St Christopher?s are always pleased with any donation, and always so thankful.

I think the Walworth Road and Camberwell shops are in aid of Crisis.

    • Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertises times. Hope you got it sorted x
    • People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
    • Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
    • My memory, admittedly not very reliable these days, places the shop on the block on the left hand side just before Burgess Park going towards Camberwell. Have also found a reference to Franklins Antiques being located at 157 Camberwell Road which is on that block. This is a screen shot obtained from Google maps of that address which accords with my memory except the entrance door was on the right hand side, where the grey door is, rather than in the centre.
