I don't know Manda, so if I was asked, for no good reason at all to say, posit an appropriate song on the matter all that occurs is Toyah Wilcox's 'It's A Mystery'.


For such it is.

Been asked by someone who knows me to explain my first post which they thought was starnge. Michael Caine starred in a film in the mid 80's called Mona Lisa ( yes the explanation is that simple) with Bob Hoskins, it was a gangster type film. Of possible interest might be the fact that some scenes were filmed at the community centre next to Dulwich medical centre, fronting Daryl Road and backing onto CPR. Of great co-incidence, at that time Brenda Blethyn lived nearby in CPR, and went on to star in a film with Michael Caine called "Little Voices" (I think that was it's title), also starring Jane Horrocks. To para-phrase, I wonder how many people know that!!!!
I knew that cos I went there and so did my father who was mates with him, hence the interest in this post. I remember my old art teacher, who was only about 200 yrs old at the time and whose name escapes me for the moment, constantly telling me stories about what they got up to, all denied by my father !!!! I wonder if EDOldie went there too?

    • Even discounting by 50% wouldn't bring their prices to an appropriate place, it's crazy.  They label items of clothing from high street shops as twice as expensive as they would have been new.  If something has a high end label they price it as it would have been brand new regardless of the condition. I heard  someone question this with the manager the other day, they wanted to buy a very bobbly cashmere jumper with a big moth hole in it that was priced at £70. They asked the manager why it was priced so highly when it was in poor condition and ventured that in another charity shop it might be £5 and the manager said that when they got a designer or high end high street label item donated they googled to check what it was priced originally and priced it similarly.  A friend went there recently because they needed the buy a plain white shirt for their teenager for a school performance and there were 2 white shirts there, one £50 and one £80.  A worn pair of Nike air force 1 were priced at £40 last time I was there.  it's crackers

    • Smaller charities are your best bet, the big ones can be quite notoriously difficult to please.
