woodrot Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Charity shops can represent a potted snapshot of mindsets and attitudes, several years down the lineGo to a Charity shop in ED nowadays and you find Harry Potter, Bridget bastard Jones, bloody matisse prints, Ministry of Sound compiliation CD's and gentlemans shoes with nifty buckles and squared off toes.A goldmine of 1995-2005 artifacts, showing how little taste we retain when soft bullied into submissive consumption.What will we find on the bulging shelves of the MIND shop in 2020 ?
