It was great to hear what you thought of the UK’s charity shops…. I dispair of them, gone are the days a couple of older ladies would make up prices as they went along. A favourite charity shop of mine that was reminiscent of the old days is closing down, I guess it doesn’t fair well next to the flashier versions on the high streets.

Glad you’re back and that you had a great time. London is such a great place to shop in, even if its just window shopping!

I do remember hitting one junkier (i.e. more exciting) charity shop on a previous visit … but have never found another one since! Glad to know they are still out there.

There are two different kinds of charity shops… those that sell all the usual shop type stuff for about the same price or very slightly cheaper and then the ‘other’ charity shops which sell exciting stuff very cheap.
Big named charity shops are hardly worth venturing into to.
Glad you enjoyed your visit to the uk but shame you never made the Boot Sale.
