You have to ask for them now as they usually kept under the counter, where they're kept at all.

I now do not donate to charity shops bits of braid, trimmings, material etc. if I cann't get to our local Salvation Army shop who although have had a makeover still remains a rummage shop, sad to say if I am clearing out these odds and ends go in my bin.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15869533738467413442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9885571.post-43008267215953452882009-08-27T22:22:20.000+00:002009-08-27T22:22:20.000+00:00Just like here then.

Pretend they can't speak English until you tell them to go home... and then you get a mouthful of abuse that would put a streetwise 15 year old to shame...<br /><br />In fact, I'm so sick of being abused that I now tell them to, "F*** off home if you don't like it here... oh no, they don't give you handouts like we do... you're scum." <br /><br />Sorry, but, I am totally disgusted at what this area has become. Sounds like yours is not dissimilar...Blue Witchhttp://blue-witch.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9885571.post-51440652020892234352009-08-27T21:46:47.688+00:002009-08-27T21:46:47.688+00:00I have been told that charity shops are no longer ...I have been told that charity shops are no longer allowed to sell knitting needles, as they are "dangerous weapons" [what is happening to the world?] Charity shops have all sorts of Health and safety things,,,etc to conform with now...a friend who works at one gave me two perfectly good beside lamps, because the shop couldn't justify getting the small amount of electrical equipment they had donated PAT tested.<br /><br />At one point I went through my knitting wool "stash" and put the surplus on local freecycle.Seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17608850359975556815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9885571.post-14183407158219935432009-08-27T21:04:58.228+00:002009-08-27T21:04:58.228+00:00I went round the charity shops in Fort william las...I went round the charity shops in Fort william last year as I wanted oddments of wool, the only yarn was scarf kits in the PDSA, went to Oban the next week and got yarn in at least 3 charity shops,Nevisknitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07216532779219899615noreply@blogger.com
