What next for the charity shop in ED ?

[woodrot]

Charity shops can represent a potted snapshot of mindsets and attitudes, several years down the line

Go 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 ?

Has the smell of charity shops changed.

Less mothball, more CK1/pot pourri/clothes steamer ?

[womanofdulwich]

Depends who works there ;-)

[Annette Curtain]

Where's "there" then?

[womanofdulwich]

In Cromer- ( not SE22) it smells of lily of the valley and talcum powder- maybe a bit of Tweed.Or possibly a hint of Brute/Blue stratos.

I find the MIND shop overly expensive. The St Christopher's shop is much better priced and get all my donations. And is bloody huge now!
