"I use my old work shirts as decorating shirts, gardening shirts, pyjama tops in winter."


It's a good idea, but I have plenty of old t shirts for that kind of stuff. Years ago my Dad used to pass his old shirts on to a mate who was a builder, who used to wear them on site. I always thought it was pretty funny because my Dad was a fairly dapper guy, who bought his shirts from Aquascutum. Not exactly standard site clothes.

recycling bin next to the Mind shop and also in Harvester car park (Dulwich Common)


or there is a mens hostel just behind Elephant & Castle, tho they generally want warm clothing and hardwearing shoes/boots - easy to find, street just behind the station, if you ask someone they should know whereabout it is, I think it is Key Street from memory

once upon a time, a kind mum/wife/aunt/other could have 'turned' the collar for you - the only problem was that the buttonhole then ended upon the 'wrong' side http://unboughtdelicacies.blogspot.co.uk/2009/01/how-to-turn-collar.html


if you haven't got a friend or relation with the required skills (and few do these days, alas) or if you're too shy to wear turned collars, then suggest you do what esme said

Even though a chazzer can't put them out on the racks for sale, old 100% cotton will join the recycling system which collects from your chosen branch. Sorted & shredded for papermaking, carpet underlay, etc. You can also bag them & put them out for the wheelie bin recyclers, enclose a label saying they are clean but unusable clothing.


Before you ditch them, snip off the buttons if they are real mother-of-pearl (you can tell, because they will feel cold and there's a trace of shell-calcium on the back) - these are worth keeping.


Patchwork, from old much-worn fabric - no. Whatever work you put in to the quilt, it'll soon wear right out.

    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
